Seems rather convenient to focus only on a positive exception and look away when the news paints a less rosy picture of the aggregate. For instance, a majority of Turks in Germany voted for Erdogan.

Rest assured that there is also a large fraction of Turks in Germany who have a fiery hate for Erdogan. I personally know some of them. But yeah, it's troubling whenever wanna-be dictators get so many votes. Do you know if this percentage is "of all Turks" or "of all who voted"? I could image that those who don't like him simply didn't vote.

It seems like an exception because the news paints a less rosy picture of the aggregate. Stupid.
