Watching videos of poor Turks defending the very government that has consigned them to queuing for hours to buy 3kgs of vegetables, I am reminded how potent it is to mix 99% media saturation with a people who can never admit they were wrong.
There are people literally moaning about queues for gas and margarine in the Second World War WHILE THEY STAND IN A QUEUE FOR RATIONED CUCUMBERS IN PEACE TIME.

This is crazy, delusional stuff and I’d say it was dangerous but honestly, it’s hilarious and I’m cracking up.
“In the bad old CHP days, we had to queue up just to get margarine.”

“You weren’t even alive then.”

“The CHP mentality held Turkey back. All those queues.”

“But you’re standing in a queue for rationed eggplants as we speak.”

“Alhamdulillah, we are grateful for even this.”
I’m also loving the hot takes from woke opposition types about how this actually benefits the AKP.

OF COURSE IT DOES! EVERYTHING BENEFITS THE AKP BECAUSE EFFECTIVE OPPOSITION HAS BEEN CRIMINALISED.

Still doesn’t make it any less embarrassing for the nation as a whole.
