Do you know the greatness of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

Respectfully, I’m not referring to the enjoyable Sarah Michelle Gellar; I’m talking about the real Buffy — the original. That would be actress Kristy Swanson, star of the 1992 hit film which featured Donald Sutherland, Paul “Pee-Wee Herman” Reubens, Hillary Swank, and the great Luke Perry (here).

Long before 90-pound movie maidens regularly punched 200-pound men with their Kermit-the-Frog arms and sent ’em flying ‘cross the room, Buffy was a butt-kickin’ brawler — and in a much more believable way.

Kristy still packs a punch, and she recently used such to slay the notion of America being a joke.

Witness:

Someone posted the following video to Twitter…

Quite the concoction.

I watch that and think, “Aw, that girl wanted to make her mama’s dreams come true. So she leaned into the strike zone and took one for the team.”

51-year-old Glee actor Patrick Gallagher had a slightly different thought, and he tweeted it:

This is why people laugh at America 😂😂😂😂 https://t.co/QrbQI3WOfp

Cue Buffy, who treated Patrick like a fanged foe:

You are a Canadian making a living as an “actor” in The United States Of America. If you’re so embarrassed by our Country that is putting food on your table, I’d be more than happy to purchase your 1 Way ticket back to America’s Hat 🇨🇦 https://t.co/EmYWtQrW77

And it was on.

Patrick struck back with his own Jedi judo. Karate chop:

You were a diva and rude when I worked with you… Looks like you haven’t changed gotten any more class

— Patrick Gallagher (@PatrickGman) July 30, 2019

He also didn’t appreciate the efforts of a troll army:

Very classy sicking and your troll army on me… Pathetic

— Patrick Gallagher (@PatrickGman) July 30, 2019

Patrick threw his American citizenship amid a couple more jabs:

Didn’t even bother to do the research..I’m an American citizen..typical troll with the “a…typical Trumpster class and thin skin #pathetic https://t.co/nxq3Ua57dS

— Patrick Gallagher (@PatrickGman) July 30, 2019

Back to Buff:

I simply stuck up for America with class while keeping a sense of humor about it. If you want to play victim that you got trolled, that’s on you. https://t.co/ZBE4C2SSaI pic.twitter.com/z1if1IwmRr

Oy. The ugliness of Twitter wars.

But here’s where it gets uglier. The real story is People Magazine’s coverage of the Tinseltown tiff.

What they wrote:

The initial controversy started when Trump fired off a string of racist tweets earlier this month to criticize progressive Democratic congresswomen and urge them to “go back” to the “crime-infested places from which they came,” despite the fact that they are American.

“A series of racist tweets.”

They are, of course, referring to this:

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly……

….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019

So for all who read People, the message is clear: It’s an objective fact that the President of the United States is an out-and-proud racist; this is something we all know and understand. This is America.

No qualifier. No evidence.

#NotGood.

Will readers take People’s news as gospel? Surely some will assume the publication understands the definition of racism — the judgement of human beings solely according to the color of their skin. That concept is wholly absent from Trump’s above tweets, yet those who aren’t abreast of political goings-on will remain in the dark (see more here).

Oh, well. While they’re seated in the shadows, they’d might as well enjoy a flick. I think I might, too. And no better time for an early 90’s classic. Check out the trailer below, and if you’ve got the time, soon enjoy some fantastic cinematic satisfaction. It slays.
