    Turkey is a hybrid regime, scoring rather low on the democracy index (https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-world/2023), with aggressive retoric towards Greece, Cyprus and Armenia. Making unreasonable demands towards Sweden in return for NATO membership. Non-muslims are discriminated against, and they’re turning churches into mosques. I expected Turkey to be proposed, but Turkey is not a good example, even though it’s “less bad” than other options.

    Maybe christians are the problem in America, but in most west European countries, muslims are the ones causing issues. Racist bs? A religion isn’t a race. I wasn’t the one starting to hate on religion, it was another guy hating on Christianity. Remember?

    Kazakhstan: Not great either https://freedomhouse.org/country/kazakhstan/nations-transit/2023

      Turkey isn’t much worse than countries like Hungary or Poland when it comes to democracy. And Kazakhstan is in the middle of democratic reform

      Also I like how you ignored the rest of my comment. But not surprised

      Edit: and people were shitting on Christianity because Christians have huge amounts of power in the US. Far more than Muslims do in any western country. It’s Christians trying to destroy secular rights in the West. You brought up Muslims for no reason other than to deflect

        Setting the bar low with Orbanistan I see (which is still more democratic than Turkey btw).

        Poland isn’t doing any worse than USA, and is straight up silly comparing it to Turkey, especially after their last election, replacing the PiS Prime Minister.
