I thought we already learned from this debacle

And, that it was Hitler who was soundly defeated. From the New York Times:

Turkey Says Hitler Comment by President Erdogan Was ‘Distorted’
Turkey issued a statement on Friday saying that comments by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — in which he cited Hitler in response to a question about whether a strong presidency was possible in Turkey — had been misinterpreted.

Mr. Erdogan, who is pushing to imbue the largely ceremonial presidency with sweeping executive powers, told reporters late Thursday that “there are already examples in the world.”

“You can see it when you look at Hitler’s Germany,” he said.

A bit more:

Mr. Erdogan became Turkey’s first popularly elected president in August 2014, having dominated Turkish politics for more than a decade as prime minister. Since assuming the new post, he has aggressively campaigned to rewrite the Turkish Constitution and establish an executive system of government.

His consolidation of power has had a potent effect on Turkish society. Critics say Mr. Erdogan’s divisive rhetoric, in which he has denigrated opponents as terrorists or traitors, has helped polarize the country.

Much more at the article - the good news is that there is a lot of push-back to his Presidency and his attempts to centralize power and establish a tyranny in the name of Democracy. I do hope he enjoys his single term in office and that the good people of Turkey wake up and kick his ass out of office.
