Sheepish AKP Voters

I always know that most of the voters of AKP are just sheep. They seem brainwashed, like the voters of George W. Bush were once. So we can say that Turkey is haunted by the same idiocracy with the United States.

A parody-like example was given today to prove this point. Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan was addressing his supporters in Tokat to convince them to vote YES in the upcoming referendum on the constitutional amendments that AKP has proposed.

As usual, Erdogan didn't tell much about the referendum, but he lashed out at Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the main opposition party, CHP. Here is what Erdogan said and how AKP voters (most of them were public servants who were transported to the rally point by public buses) reacted:

- CHP leader is telling in his public addresses that he can solve the problem of female students who are not allowed to enter university campuses with their headscarves. (jeeringly) Do you believe that he can solve this problem?

- (the crowd shouted with one voice) YEEEEES!

Check out the video to see how Erdogan was astonished at that moment:

Following a bizarre silence that reminded me of South Park episodes, Erdogan tried to rephrase his question: "You don't believe it, right?"

And the crowd shouted again: "YEEEES!"

Is this democracy now? Are these people really conscious voters or are they just sheep?

Or, even worse, are they the conditioned dogs of Pavlov?

Ask them anything and they'll say YEEES; because simply, they're brainwashed?

And is this example enough to understand the mainstream political psychology in Turkey or is there something deeper underneath?
