1. Erdogan, Turkey's autocrat, politicizes the central bank, replaces its director, and demands lower interest rates. (He's more successful than Trump has been so far because Turkey is farther along the road to autocracy.)
2. Inflation soars to 85%.
3. Voters are enraged. A pro-democracy opposition candidate, Istanbul's mayor, gains support.
4. Erdogan has the mayor arrested for "corruption and terrorism."
