I assumed this was fake, but no, Democrats really are that feckless:

In late January 2021, a number of Democrats brought forward the “No Glory for Hate Act” in the U.S. House of Representatives, a bill that seeks to impose restrictions on certain former presidents. Proposed ahead of the second impeachment of President Donald Trump after he provoked a mob into attacking the U.S. Capitol, the bill aims to prohibit burials in Arlington National Cemetery of former presidents who had been twice impeached.

Snopes readers specifically interpreted this bill as one that sought to prohibit Trump from being buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, at the time of his death. We read the text of the bill, and learned that while Trump is not mentioned there by name, the bill presently only applies to him.In late January 2021, a number of Democrats brought forward the "No Glory for Hate Act" in the U.S. House of Representatives, a bill that seeks to impose restrictions on certain former presidents.
