The Trumpocene: A History of Martyrdom

Ashley Babbitt was shot by the cops, but she's an ideal martyr for that movement. Martyr is a politically agnostic term. It is what you make of it. And I think of her as essentially a placeholder on the cross until Trump could push her aside and take his place. You can be a martyr if you get indicted for illegal payoffs to your mistress. She takes the nails and he gets the money.
