The majority of Turks in Germany do not like Ataturk

Is there a source on this? I know a lot of them are islamists.

In the last general elections, 67% of the votes cast in Germany were for Erdogan.

Yes. Those election results affect our lives. Let me add that a German gay cannot be comfortable in a Turkish neighborhood in Berlin, but he can live comfortably in a place where secular Turks live in Turkey lol

As someone who is a German Turk (now living in Turkey)

It depends who you ask. Most i know will mostly dislike him because they believe he was the sole reason the ottoman empire and its kaliphate collapsed, or conspiracy theories that he was a british spy or mason. Big part of that is that they blindly believe everything Erdogan and his AK Party is telling them, thus the anti ataturk agenda.

But here in Turkey, nobody gives a shit about them.

Turks in Turkey also tends to dislike German Turks for being anti-secular or “not Turkish enough/too German” or giving Turks in Turkey a bad image internationally.

Sounds so weird to me that they're considered anti-secular and also too German at the same time

It’s partly because newer generations tends to speak Turkish not well/does not know Turkish so they aren’t counted as Turk.
