Snowflakes. Deporables. Libtards. You've heard them all. Nonsensical as they are instantly understandable, these new-school insults are a testament to how polarized we are as a country, as scary as it is kind of funny. We're caricatures of ourselves, which is one of the many brilliant takeaways from American Horror Story: Cult.
This season begins on election night, when Ally (Sarah Paulson) becomes completely undone once Trump wins. She's an archetypical left-winger: a married lesbian with a child, an eco-friendly Prius and oddly specific phobias that'll make her lose control when she's triggered. Ally becomes hysterical once the results come in, howling and bawling like a nuclear blast had already hit or Mike Pence himself was outside her door to personally break up her marriage and take away her son. "Go to hell Huffington Post!," she wails. "F--k you Nate Silver! How could they have been so wrong about this?!" Her partner Ivy (Alison Pill) comes in to soothe her with something called 'Cookie Breathing' and, no matter who you voted for, this absurd portrait of a liberal hissy fit is something South Park could not have done better.

Cookie breathing? Is that for people too sissified to mainline chocolate?

Doesn't sound very realistic to me. Where's her Subaru Outback?
Review: American Horror Story: Cult Feeds Off Trump-Era Fears

As it begins, Ally (Sarah Paulson) is watching the election returns on MSNBC. When the presidency is called for Donald J. Trump, she howls as if shes seen a monster. Merrick Garland, she wails. Whats going to happen with Merrick Garland?
Across town, Kai (Evan Peters), a lank-haired, intense young man watching the returns on Fox News, thrusts his pelvis against his TV with joy: Revolution has begun, he says. Like Ally, Kai believes the world is falling apart. Only he wants to help it along.
Is Sarah Paulson the one that played the two-headed woman in the Freak Show season?
yes, she has been in each season
She’s good. I liked Lilly Rabe as Sister Eunice. Is she in this one?
not likely

We watched the first season (which had a nice little zing of Obama in the first episode), but after that they were too scary/weird for us. But we saw the ad with the woman crying over Hillary losing and we said: let’s check this out again!
Did Connie Britton die out of Nashville to leave Tenn,
Why is the 30-year old angry white guy humping his tv in ecstasy about Trump’s victory?
I think she’s a good actress and i like the way they have repeated many cast members. she nailed the marcia Clark role in the OJ story.
IIRC she’s also married to a writer or producer of the show. i welcome corruption
Is Lena Dunham playing a man, a woman, or a horror?
Evan Peters is always good, but a few in the cast look about as exciting as Lady Ga Ga. Oh well.
She’s a lesbian.
She was in a relationship with Cherry Jones and now Holland Taylor.
I assume that is off-screen. Thanx.
Evan Peters humping the TV was ROTF funny!
