In the 1980’s and 1990’s Turks endured long periods of high inflation - 50% to 100% a year in the 90’s.

The expectations of high inflation, and the protective behaviors that that people adopt, will probably develop relatively quickly there, because of their experience.

One of Erdogan’s biggest selling points (electorally), was that his regime coincided with the end of the long inflation/currency devaluation nightmare.

Fear of going down that road again, could be a powerful influence on voters. It might not matter anymore though, as rigged as the Turkish system has become. Erdogan may have to be carried out of his new palace (now the largest on Earth).
