I expect Erdogan to go full Palpatine and declare himself "President for life" amid cheers of the civilians and the entire west calling it a great win for democracy.

Well this more or less happened. They declared a 3-month state of emergency and announced that during this time they wouldn't respect the European convention on human rights. Already more than 25,000 people have been removed from office. This isn't only limited to military, but judges, public sector employees, teachers, professors. Oh, they also forbade academy staff from leaving the country. Let's not forget how military stormed the biggest private media a few months ago and it's now under state control. Meanwhile, the masses out in the streets are celebrating the "victory of democracy". 

Now tell me that this isn't taken from "How to Dictator 101".

People who've been following the situation in Turkey know that Erdogan wasn't very popular. Remember the Gezi Park protests? Reportedly there were between 4-7 million people [i]in person[/i] there, just in Istanbul. That's between 28%-50% of population of the entire city. This begs the question - where the fuck did all these people go?! You mean to tell me that they all had a change of heart? Yeah right.
