Only about 5,000. Not enough for an impressive protest but MORE than enough for a super spreader event. Thanks again, MAGAts.

Teens hijacked their hashtag and flooded it with images of pancakes. Awesome!
Take a look. Some of the pics are hilarious.

Meanwhile, in an attempt to suppress the spread of the word of the march and stop it from attracting supporters teenagers and K-pop fans on the popular video-sharing app TikTok have hijacked the #MillionMagaMarch hashtag to share pictures of well...pancakes.
This appears to have been started by actor Shea Depmore who shared a video on her own TikTok account encouraging people to use the aforementioned hashtag to swamp it with pictures of the savory cuisine. Depmore also runs the website mapa2020.com.
Sure enough, this has worked and if you now search for the hashtag, even on Twitter, you won't find much else than pictures, videos and gifs of pancakes and it's not just teenagers and K-pop fans. Everyone is joinging in.

K-Pop stans from TikTok are flooding the #MillionMAGAMarch hashtag with pictures of pancakes. It's basically unusable right now.
@SheaDepmore appears to have kicked it off.
