Because he has reversed a century of history and progress by by turning Turkey from a secular nation to an Islamist state.
Because he has faked a "coup", detaining thousands and killing no-one knows how many to retain power.
He's a wannabe dictator in the same vein as others in the ME and elsewhere that you, in the past, have reviled.
And what I said Erdogan needs, I firmly believe that many such dictator wannabes in the east and west need.
I wouldn't call the period of Turkey's militarizing a "progress", it was in that period when Turkey lost most of its land and most of its pride. He didn't fake the coup; rather his people protected him because some military generals were the head behind the coup; and Turkish people did not want to live the tragedy of WW1's period,
I'm still against the dictators of the ME to the core; I still want to see every one of them pay and get trialed and get the guillotine , Erdogan is having a war right now against Assad and against Haftar and against SISI. So he doesn't look as bad as you picture him to be.
