His voters see him as their flesh and blood. Some even said if they saw Erdogan in bed with their mother it would be the mothers flooziness. Im quoting them btw not my own words you can google it if you wish.
All in all these people would torch evryone and everything to the ground if Erdogan ordered it. Last summer he said " White Turks keep your dogs on leashes" which resulted in his voters ganging up and hunting street dogs for 3 days streaight whihc resulted in piles of dog corpses being made with thousands slain by brutality and poison.
A mere statement of dislike was enough to galvanize people to do this.
You as a westerner obviously cannot understand the concept of devotion and fanaticism of this degree. It is impossible to deal with.

Really? Where have you been the past 6 years?! There was an orange turd in the White House, and many were rabid enough to do his bidding and willing to kill for him without even saying so.

It is a bit tone deaf to liken Trump to Erdogan. The cult of personality is there, but the power and social sway really isn't. They are willing to flag wave and fork over their paychecks, but generally not much more. If Trump had the pull that Erdogan does, Jan 6 would have gone a lot differently.

Turkey just fucking around with the NATO ascension process, some more. I am at the point where I wish that they were not allowed into the treaty.

Nah, that's just the over zealous police wrongfully arresting people only to get sued later.

Seems more like a policy than a mistake.

For anyone wondering, it was images like Erdogan photoshopped over a pride flag.
Strange that they never complained when the same thing was done at the Turkish embassy in Germany, except they photoshopped Hitler's mustache onto him.

What images? Any source?

Only someone with such a fragile ego would allow a trivial issue to affect official matters.

insulting your president is a crime now?

It must be so cool to run one of those countries where you can demand action because someone insulted you and it still flies with the people and doesn't make you look like sopping wet-wipe.
