what I find puzzling is how come the new administration is moving so fast without resistance? As with US other countries also have some intrinsic understanding of how the government should work and when a government does something against some principle, they are met with huge pressure from the public. People will stop cooperating or start protesting.
It took Erdogan 20 years to dismantle the core of the secular republic for example , arguably he hasn’t finished it.

People aren't very willing to risk everything they have just to get brutalized by a cop that will later be acquitted
