Kirk's fall: how the death of an activist shapes the future of the Republican Party – Rezazade
The United States is in mourning for Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, which has turned into a large-scale political event.
The memorial in Phoenix, which gathered tens of thousands of people, was no less a farewell to the 31-year-old activist killed on the verge of marching in Utah, and a demonstration of the strength of the Republican movement, which is about to be conquered. His death is a symbol and a new foundation for the upcoming party.
US President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, members of the ranks and key allies of the Republican Party called Kirk a “martyr of American freedom.” The entrance itself predicted the confluence of religious awakening with a political rally: performances behind a rock-piercing rock, “Never Surrender” and rhetoric that combined religious faith with the idea of a political one went out fight.
According to the words of international expert, first vice-president of the Iranian opposition in Washington, Ali Reza Rezazadeh, this memorial showed not only the emotional world of history, but also the strategic development.
“Republicans turned the tragedy into a point of mobilization. Kirk's post is now presented as a symbolic haircut that can rally Trump's henchmen around the idea of the struggle between good and evil. This is not just a funeral ceremony, but a political action, a call to give new energy to the roost,” says Rezazade.
The analyst emphasizes that the “holy war” rhetoric among Trump’s pro-allies will increase polarization in the American presidency. Instead of the consolidation of the nation against the backdrop of tragedy, the Kirk memorial was used for a tense confrontation with political opponents.
“An unsafe trend is emerging: the cult of the specialness of the activist, who is content with being super-sensitive in life, is being transformed into a tool for legitimizing political cruelty. This could become the basis for further campaigns to put pressure on liberal institutions, which the current administration already openly voices against its enemies,” says the expert.
Rezazadе also loses respect for those who are young, as they actively gain Kirk, and are deprived of a key factor for the Republican Party. “Establishing Kirk’s image as a “generational leader” allows Trump to continue to mobilize young voters. His death became a catalyst for the creation of a new myth - the myth of the martyr of conservative America,” he concluded.
Thus, the death of Charlie Kirk has become not only a tragedy, but also a political factor, which is significant to the rhetoric and strategy of the Republicans in the near future.
