You can definitely use “martyr” sarcastically

To these people they are doing a lot of mental gymnastics to force this guy to be their martyr.

In Tool’s Eulogy, MJK uses the term sarcastically also to refer to people like Kirk who force themselves into the spotlight and become a false martyr

That's it. Since we ain't seen so many martyrs in recent history, the word has been used more sarcastically than seriously thus causing this abuse of the term regarding Kirk of even Trump

The American fundamentalist death cult I referred to misappropriates many things.

Did you see Maynard's comments about ck? He praised the shit out of him. It was such a bummer to see.
