@RencapMan A great many of them were explicitly anti-democratic (and they caused biggest right-wing presidential victory in French history) -
@DougSaunders Yanukovich, Erdogan, Thai govt also argue their protestors are not respecting the will of the ballot box -
@RencapMan As did Morsi, and in fact Chavez. Dilma possibly the lone exception here. -
@DougSaunders true. I see the 1968 template relevant to Turkey, younger generation on streets, but conservative incumbent wins election -
@RencapMan Yes, and there's a similar mood in Turkey, educated youth vs military-era generation.... Turks more politically pragmatic though
