>>I am very concerned that Erdogan will eliminate the chance for the ballot box, or making it so that the ballot box is no longer a way to enact change.
I don't think that's even possible- the people who did try that, have just failed.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
