like turkeys voting for Christmas: when someone accepts a situation which will have a negative outcome for them.
كاتێك كه‌سێك حاڵه‌تێك قبوڵ ده‌كات كه‌ ئه‌نجامێكی (سلبی) خراپی هه‌یه‌، ساف زه‌ره‌ره‌ و ده‌گه‌ له‌خۆدانه‌.

It would be like turkeys voting for Christmas if people asked for a tax rise.
ساف زه‌ره‌ره‌ و ده‌گه‌ له‌ خۆدانه‌ ئه‌گه‌ر خه‌ڵك داوای به‌رزكردنه‌وه‌ی باج بكات.
