My understanding: In the World of Warcraft game, there are two main factions: Horde and Alliance. Each speaks a language the other cannot understand. If a player in one faction (don't know which one) types "lol" (gamer speak for laugh out loud), a player in the other faction sees on screen "kek".
That grew from gamer culture to the larger online culture, and became kind of a rallying cry on 4Chan, along with Pepe the frog. Now it generally is considered an acknowledgement that you are pro-Trump.

At least, that's how I view it.
