At the coop tonight working with not one, but two Turkish women. Fascinating and enlightening stuff about Gülen!
Basically normal (secular) Turks couldn’t care less if Erdogan gets him. Gülen used to be powerful and dangerous, but his Khomeini-like network had been largely dismantled. Also, I didn’t know he was kicked out of Germany before coming here.
Also, a story of what it’s like to take off in a plane when the coup is just beginning, and arrive when it just ended (spoiler: bizarre, scary, and not at all enjoyable, especially being locked up at the airport).
