For quite some time, it has been common knowledge that deceased Democrats continue to cast votes. However, a new trend has emerged – even deceased Democrats now make posthumous appearances on social media. This is particularly evident when they express disapproval of President Donald Trump’s actions regarding the Department of Education.
Lately, a reporter from the Tucson Sentinel, who regarded Grijalva as a mentor, openly voiced what many were thinking: it was high time for the 77-year-old Congressman to step down. Despite sporadic comments and social media posts criticizing Trump and supporting Elon Musk’s DOGE Resistance movement, Grijalva’s health had deteriorated to the point where traveling to Capitol Hill became too strenuous for him.
Ultimately, the decision was out of his hands.
Health issues had forced Grijalva to be largely absent from his duties in Congress since the start of the year. With plans to retire at the end of his current term, he had already relinquished his role as the leading Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee.
So it was curious that soon after Grijalva’s staff posted the announcement of his death to his X account, that this extremely lengthy post appeared.Â

President Trump’s latest reckless decision to fire thousands of employees at the Department of Education jeopardizes critical student aid programs, weakens protections for students’ civil rights, and undermines essential support for students with disabilities. This move severely threatens every child’s access to a quality education nationwide.Â
Trump and Musk are prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over the future of our students.  It’s selfish, and it’s illegal. This radical gutting of the Department will mean funding cuts for every student:Â
– 26 million kids across every school district—rural, suburban and urban—will lose access to critical funding to help them get succeed. Â
– 12 million students will lose access to career and technical education, including pathways to good-paying jobs through apprenticeship programs in trades and STEM careers. Â
– 10 million students from low-income families could lose access to higher education. Â Â
– 7.5 million students with Individualized Education Plans—accounting for 15 percent of all students nationwide —will lose access to special education services.
Last I checked, dead men don’t post on social media. But being Grijalva was a Democrat, there are obviously exceptions. it was an important enough message that despite the fact that the congressman was quite dead, the message was still posted. After all, Trump firing nearly half the employees at the Department of Education was indeed the end of the world—or at least the ending of those in-kind campaign contributions from the teachers union for his living colleagues running for re-election.
This is yet another reflection of the coordinated, lockstep campaigns of the Democrat Party blowing up in their faces. Instead of being savvy and on the mark, they come off braindead, and in the case of this one, downright awful. After posting the statement on his death, Grijalva’s intern should have ensured this post never saw the light of day. Yet, it did go out, business as usual, and as of this writing, no mea culpas or apologies have been issued. This is rank incompetence, not to mention extremely poor taste.Â
This poor man is dead you disgusting excuses for humans puppeting his account. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Why are Democrats always the WORST people??

Who would have thought that maximum cringe for Democrats wasn’t those identical videos of Democrat Congressional representatives swearing and parroting, verbatim, the same script, or ancient and uncoordinated female representatives awkwardly cosplaying a video game called, “Choose Your Fighter,” but a dead Democrat representative post to X after he’s been declared dead. Wasn’t on my bingo card, yet, here we are.
If Democrats don’t find their chill, they’ll continue this downhill slide into embarrassment, irrelevance, and then oblivion.
