I like the message but the politics come with a lot of conspiracy baggage unfortunately

many of these rallies are done under the idea that the west is attempting to specifically destroy turkey (as in, the Turkish race)

Also, Turkey is the second largest army in NATO, and is a country built on the ethnic cleansing and forced assimilation of minorities like Armenians, Kurds, and Greeks. And all of that baggage is expressed in these conspiracies.
