Atatürk's modern secular Turkey has simply been outbred by fiercely Islamic Turkey.
Europe take note.

You can have a functioning democracy in a relatively homogeneous society in which parties compete over tax policy and health care. But, when a nation is divided into two groups with fundamentally opposing views of what that society is or should be, then democracy becomes tribal, and the size of the tribe determines the outcome.
Where the Democrats were taking us.

Ultimately, in Turkey as elsewhere, demography trumps democracy.
Key sentence.
