For all of its ills, social media is good for at least one purpose — a hearty laugh.

In the wake of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s announcement of charges against 12 Russian military intelligence officers accused of election-related hacking, President Donald Trump’s summit with Russia’s President Putin, and the confusing press conference that followed — conservatives took an opportunity to make a humorous point on social media about requiring voter identification for American elections.

Their point, in essence, is that liberals — traditionally opposed to voter ID laws — should now support them, since the institution of such measures could help combat Russia’s interference in America’s election.

Some tweets and memes even sported the Democrats’ logo and/or links to the Democrats’ official website.

Most included patriotic imagery or photos of people in line to cast a vote.

Verbiage on memes included: “Don’t let Russia hack 2020,” “The Kremlin wants you to think IDs are racist. Don’t let Putin win,” “Take aim against Russian interference,” and “Sorry, Putin, this is our democracy.”

Some were revived from memes created months ago — and quickly started making the social media rounds once again.

Rosenstein, in his press conference prior to Trump’s visit to Russia, specifically noted there was no allegation the hacking affected the vote count or election results.

The hacking was focused on the Democratic National Committee, the Clinton presidential campaign, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee back in 2016.
