In Turkey, the popularity of the ideology that combines the democratic discourse with a heavy dose of conservative and traditionalist elements does not owe either to the manipulation of skillful politicians or to the malleability of simple people holding simple beliefs. While both of these may have played some parts in making the Democratic Party and its successors successful, the real power of this ideology lies in the way in which it both reflects and reinterprets reality so that the individual, typically a peasant and/or a migrant, can see himself at the center, capable of affecting that reality according to his will.
