Stop making him out to be a martyr before anything happens to him. By repeating the rhetoric that "he'll be a martyr" you are preemptively saying that we can't do anything about it. He needs to have consequences for his actions and not just a refusal to hold him accountable because he'll "be a martyr."

I didn't say anything about him not deserving it - in the past, he did call for violence himself and spread hateful beliefs, which I do think makes him deserving of violence as well (since he did break the social contract, intolerance of intolerant type of deal), but my point is that if he were to die due to an assassination, it would make things worse. Even now I've seen my relatives who are brainrot-facebook-conversative types being like "he was shot because he spoke the truth", and it doesn't seem to be an uncommon sentiment.

Sadly, it's not an easy problem to solve.
