The responses to Charlie Kirk’s murder have so far been very visceral. We wanted to step away from that and take a more dispassionate look at what Mr Kirk’s death means.

The eulogies and encomiums for Charlie Kirk are multiplying as the multitudes of people whom he touched come to terms with his death. There are some recurring themes in them – of Mr Kirk as a happy, Christian warrior advocating for a renewal of America; as a husband and father; and so on.

One of the most striking recurrences is the proclamation that Mr Kirk is a martyr.
