A perversion of the word Martyr as it requires one to walk in faith. The appropriating of religious symbols merely as an aesthetic is really on brand…
Comment on Hes alive so this meme is OK right?
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 months agoAs someone indicated below, he’s now a living martyr. I would place money that he uses this to galvanize his following and it actually benefits him in the polls.
He needed to die in an embarrassing way (lethal dose of ex-lax?) for it to hurt his reputation.
I don’t buy the ‘pave the way for someone worse’ argument. Who would that be? I can’t think of anyone right now, except for maybe De Santis in terms of actually being somewhat competent.

Martyr apparently comes from Greek meaning “one who testifies in court.” The religious connotations came later.

Apparently, eating C-4 causes diarrhoea. Bomb tech recruits would be fed small amounts of C-4 and then chased around with a taser, a shock from which they feared would set it off, while trying not to shit themselves

Might not be a politician. He wasn’t before he became president.
