I was in Egypt a few days before the 2013 protests began, and there was a definite anti-Morsi sentiment - people thought he made no notable change and was not much better than Hosni Mubarak. It seems to me, just from some reading and a little personal experience that Egypt has drifted between the two extremes of fundamentalism and a police state, and it makes me wonder whether an alternate system would be any more sustainable, or if it would quickly devolve into total control.
