Oh, you mean the years when Erdogan and Gulen were best buddies? When Gulenists were taking over government, military, police???
Yes, back then it was reasonable to hate Erdogan.

I don't know why you like him so much, especially when he acts totally against in what you believe.
No, it isn't. Its it's own thing imo. Honestly don't see much overlap between it and middle eastern countries unless you're talking about the Levant region. Even then you have countries like Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, other gulf states and I guess Egypt as well that makes up the majority of the middle east.
The web trolls stuff is no joke. That's for real. There are people in Turkey who are paid just to make propaganda on the internet. Twitter, Facebook, Forums, Reddit are full with them xD
That's their job. It's a profession. No joke. :)
This is a question of semantics, because places like Europe, Asia, West Asia and the Middle East are fundamentally manmade concepts. The cartographers have used pencil, ruler and paper to create geographical areas, and we come to associate them with ethnic and cultural connotations. If cartographers include West Asia within the domaine of the Middle East, then it's our duty to differentiate the people there from those on the Saudi Peninsula.
