A recent post by a Republican congressman featuring a digitally altered photo of JD Vance has caused an unexpected stir online. The photo, which portrays Vance in an exaggeratedly chiseled manner, has been labeled as 'yassified,' leading to a wave of comedic responses from both comedians and social media users alike. The alteration has spurred discussions around the GOP's fascination with A.I.-enhanced images and sparked a meme war, as many reacted with humor and disbelief at the strange choice made by the congressman. Even after the debates, Vance's new 'gay rebranding' seems to be a topic of conversation, as Republicans engage in self-deprecating humor about their unusual preferences for edited images.
