Democrats Mocked After Olive Garden’s ID Policy Goes Viral- Stricter Than Some Blue State Voter Requirements-‘Pasta Deals Are Literally More Secure Than Our Elections’

Democrats are on the receiving end of a viral punchline after the restaurant chain Olive Garden shared the rules of its ‘Never-Ending Pasta Pass.’

The pass allows customers unlimited meals, but only if the passholder presents a valid photo ID that matches the name printed on the pass when ordering.

They shared on X, “No. The Never-Ending Pasta Pass is only for use by the Passholder whose name is printed on the Pass. Passes are personalized and non-transferable.”

“Passholders must present a valid photo I.D. along with the Pass at the time of ordering.”

Conservatives were quick to mock Democrats for the rule, which is stricter than voting requirements in some blue states. and cities.

On X, Robby Starbuck said, “Olive Garden requires ID to use their never ending pasta pass but most Democrat run states don’t require your ID to vote.”

“So in America, our pasta deals are literally more secure than our elections.”

“Maddening and hilarious at the same time.”

PragerU’s X account noted, “Olive Garden has a more secure process than our election system.”

Conservative activist Scott Pressler quipped, “Olive Garden implemented the SAVE America Act more quickly than the US Senate.”

Hayley Caronia asked, “What if I gave birth at an Olive Garden location? Is my baby entitled to a never-ending pasta pass?”

On Thursday evening, President Trump addressed the nation. In addition to the massive Chinese voter data breach, affecting 220 million US voters, China’s massive influence campaign on media and business leaders, manipulation of voting machines, and a complicit deep state intelligence community, Trump announced the results of a Department of Homeland Security investigation into states’ voter rolls.

He shared that 278,000 illegal voters have been discovered on state voter rolls, but the number is “actually much higher than that,” noting that Democratic states refused to comply with DHS’s investigation.

According to a public report from DHS, the 278,000 illegal voters were found across just four states that provided the public data files to federal officials.

DHS has also found over 400,000 deceased registrants and over 28,000 non-citizens across states that shared their election files with the Department.

Olive Garden is alienating all those poor people who don’t know how to get IDs.

That’s racist!

A hurdle beyond women and minorities, and the restaurant has gotten away with it for years.

In many countries including socialist countries like Canada and the UK, you need to show ID to vote... Why would America not require an ID to vote?

I truly believe that Democrats, writ large, are an existential threat to my way of life - including my freedom and individuality. The world that they want will take away my will to live. I’m very serious, and I don’t think I”m alone.

You need an ID to get pasta, but you dont need one to vote. Obviously Olive Garden is very very racist for demanding folks fork over their ID. In December 2024 I traded in my Playstation 5 to Gamestop, they wouldnt give me any credit til I showed them my ID, an ID, to trade in a video game console, but you dont need to show one to VOTE
