I’m just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc… Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they’ve done? What do they exactly like about them?

Aren’t these people seeing a massive drop in their quality of life?

    Step 1. Take control over all types of media Step 2. Eliminate opposition Step3. ??? Step 4. Profites !

    People keep voting for them because they foster and environnement where there is no one else to vote for.

    Last election in Turkey may have looked like a close call for Erdogan. But during the campaign he got over 85% of media coverage, while the other candidates have to share the crumbs (I am pulling those numbers out of my ass).
