So we can pretty much write off Turkey if this passes, right? How is this any different from the Enabling Act of 1933 in Germany?

Yes

Also it won't change much since erdogan does whatever anyway but it'll be a major defeat and destroy his aura of invincibility

The disturbing thing is that it hasn't really cost him anything. Liberals in turkey have basically done nothing or flailed pointlessly. Thereby fulfilling the long liberal tradition of caving to fascists.

Well, even worse in that liberals were pro-erdogan until he specifically rejected and abandoned them

Like people forget this but erdogan was a favorite of even European greens and socdems until 2013 or so
