I thought disliking Erdogan was Islamophobic. Interesting how our resident appeasement cultists suddenly oppose Erdogan now that Trump is chill with him.

Anyone who supports democracy and the rule of law should be opposed to Erdogan. Why even try to defend Trump on this? I'm not saying this makes Trump the Hitler that the left makes him out to be, but can't we just agree this is pretty darn bad?

Yeah exactly there’s no good spin on this

At this point, yes, but it wasn't like that a few years ago. People like myself and Tender have been highly critical of Erdogan for years and were considered "Islamophobic" for it. I even remember being ridiculed for calling him a dictator. We were right all the time.

"A few years ago" being the operative words, in case you didn't notice.

Erdogan has been doing things like blocking social media since 2014 (and the first authoritorian measures started before that). Maybe he was a relatively acceptable leader (by Turkish standards) in the mid 2000s but he's been off the deep end for years by now.

Right. The Sultan began his reign long before the “coup attempt” (which I’m positive he staged)
