Martin Luther King, JFK, RFK and many other less famous crusaders for social justice have died violently and remain emblems of heroic resistance to evil shit like white supremacy and imperialism.

The closest thing to a martyr on the other side of the political fence would be Joe McCarthy.

That has changed this month as Charles Kirk gave his life for Jesus and America, according to numerous text messages I've received, to become the Trumpist Martyr.
