Following the insurrection at the Capitol, Macaulay Culkin has spearheaded a petition to have Donald Trump removed from Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, to match the backlash Trump now faces from the internet at large.
Former movie actress Kristy Swanson—best known for her role as Buffy in the original Buffy The Vampire Slayer film—is a fervent Trump supporter. Her response to Culkin was to request that she, too, be removed from her appearances in John Hughes films.
Swanson had minor roles in several other movies.
Twitter's response?
Sure, okay.
Swanson's roles in both Pretty In Pink—where she played Duckette—and Ferris Bueller's Day Off—where she played a student who tells the teacher Ferris is sick—amounted to the same amount of screen time as a credited extra, so CGI could easily remove her from those films without having any effect on the movie.
Swanson and fellow conservative actor Dean Cain claim to have already been on the chopping block of "cancel culture" before, after a joint production entitled FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers—known to the pair as an "Obamagate" project—was denounced by the public at large.
Needless to say, Swanson's absence from those films would be of little consequence.
In 24 hours, Donald Trump will no longer be President, and Kristy Swanson will fade into the background of our minds, where she has been the rest of our lives anyway.
