K-pop fans are being used to troll Trump on social media once again
'We are going to hold a Pancake Bit**ez Million MAPA Brunch,' said activist Shea Depmore
People on social media are trolling President Donald Trump‘s supporters, using the hashtag #MillionMAGAMarch.
When searching on social media for the Make America Great Again March, which was held on Saturday in Washington, D.C., in light of the “stolen election,” images of pancakes will flood search results thanks to internet sensation Shea Depmore.

Before the march, Depmore posted a video on TikTok and Twitter telling her followers to misappropriate the MAGA hashtag with some “syrupy goodness.”
“Proud Boys and mega-mad MAGAers are descending upon D.C. this Saturday for the Million MAGA March. I’ve seen many on this app rightfully warn people to stay away, as these fools come strapped and they’re angry. But I don’t want these Proud Boys to be proud,” Depmore said in the video.
“So, here’s what we are going to do: We are going to hold a Pancake Bit**ez Million MAPA Brunch! That’s right, Make America Pancakes Again. Make yourself some pancakes or find a good stock photo and fill the hashtag #MillionMAGAMarch with syrupy goodness,” she continued.
Depmore called on K-pop fans, who are known to be passionate and active, to spread the word about the takeover.
“Someone please inform the K-pop stans,” Depmore said.

The pancake protest seems to be effective as pancakes are a top result when looking up #MillionMAGAMarch, TheWrap reported. The publication also reported that “dozens and dozens” of K-pop fans used the hashtag before others joined in.
As theGrio previously reported, Trump was expecting a full-capacity crowd in Tulsa, Oklahoma for his first campaign rally after the coronavirus pandemic shut down the country.
The crowd, however, failed to materialize as swaths of seats and parts of the main floor at the 19,000-seat BOK Center remained empty.
Part of the reason for the Trump campaign’s overzealous projections can be blamed on a different campaign started by TikTok users and fans of Korean pop, or K-pop, groups, The New York Times reports.
