My understanding is that a significant amount of Edrogan's support actually comes from foreign-resident voters - either expat Turks or people with dual citizenship. There are e.g. British and Germans with Turkish citizenship who don't have to deal with the fallout of voting for him, but love his rhetoric and persona.

Jail could be the least of his worries if he loses upcoming elections. If he's about to lose his best option is to flee the country.

Knowing the people there; I'd be surprised if he didn't come even stronger after all this.

“Only I know how to fix such a corrupt system as I’ve seen it from the inside”

Or put blame on external actors as usual.
