Analogous to Charlie Kirk?

Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel (1907-1930), a young brownshirt in the early Nazi movement, was shot by Communist opponents during a dispute and later died from his injuries. Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi propaganda machine mythologized his life and death, elevating him into a martyr for their cause.

A poem he wrote became the “Horst-Wessel Song,” the anthem of the Nazi Party and later part of the national identity under Nazi rule. Through public ceremonies, renamed streets, and ritual remembrance, Wessel’s story became a blueprint for turning death into myth and myth into political power.

1. This is what I've been saying all along

They're trying too create their own "HERO", their own "MARTYR", who is really neither. We see through it, but how many others do?

3. Kirk was a martyr for the 2nd amendment

Don't let a few deaths stand in the way of the 2nd amendment

2. Will they start naming things after the dead racist bullshit artist?

4. The Republican Party had high aspirations for Kirk

So yes, they will name streets after him or anything else to elevate his martyrdom
