It doesn’t show up on the above embed but on Twitter proper there’s a little “Made with AI” asterisk under the image, a still from the 2013 version of The Great Gatsby. It probably took them longer to prompt Grok to add the text to the time-honored meme image than it would have to simply type and set the text in Photoshop, so shave a few point off the larger achievement, which is notable.

You do have to give the un-Photoshop-trained Zoomers on the team some credit for actually citing a real, plausible use case for being carded rather than just saying and then doubling down on stupid shit like Auditioning Attorney General Todd Blanche’s inane “showing ID to vote is like showing ID when you go into a restaurant,” from earlier this month. That dumbassery itself was a shout out as well as a slightly less deranged version of convicted felon President Trump’s longtime dedication to undermining the purportedly dire seriousness of the policy objective by saying variously that Americans need to show ID to buy a “loaf of bread,” “a box of cereal,” and just “groceries.”

Really the only issues with the tweet from the “Election Integrity” propaganda squad are the aforementioned laziness on the part of the non-Photoshop-trained zoomers slapping this together, the invocation of “Bottomless Brunch” on a Friday since “Happy Hour” would’ve been more appropriate (or it could’ve waited until Saturday or Sunday when such brunch specials are actually offered), and the implied mockery of a weekend ritual favored by urbane liberal constituencies at effete establishments that never actually bother to card patrons for their $35 bottomless mimosa specials. Oh and the whole thing about how Dems aren’t really resisting any voter ID requirement on “principle” anymore so much as holding onto it as a bargaining chip for when Republicans show a willingness to compromise on other national election legislation. Which will be never.

So it’s not actually that important to the GOP and the whole “We need voter ID” song-and-dance is just them getting ahead of claiming they were cheated in the November midterms.

But other than that it was a solid effort by RNC Election Integrity. Big props on citing alcohol consumption in a context where the dining establishment staff member does not care what your name is, if you’ve showed up at the right brunch precinct in the jurisdiction you currently reside within, if you’re registered to brunch there, or really anything other than plausible deniability that a 19 year-old patron’s fake ID looked real enough if the place even bothered to card them at all.
