No, sorry, he will NEVER be seen as a martyr. A martyr's death is not met with song and celebration. If anything, it would make me respect the Iranians more.

And any MAGA attempts to paint him as a martyr will be met with jeers, like Charlie Kirk's "martyrdom."

Here's the thing: MAGAs don't do martyrs well. That takes caring about the person, and keeping their light and inspiration alive. The most basic problem with MAGAs is that they are all Sociopathic, and don't care about anyone but themselves. They don't understand caring, inspiration, etc. A person's value is utilitarian, not inspirational. Kirk's value was in recruiting and indoctrinating young conservatives, and once he assumed room temperature, he became useless.

His concubine has tried to keep his light alive, but only because she's milking his memory for as much cash as she can grab. That strategy is dying, so she'll soon announce some new revenue path, a podcast or a show on one of the new MAGA channels.
