it's the first watchable season since season 2

*inaudible whale sounds*

The sarah paulson show

isn't this the show that had some retarded preachy monologue about Sup Forums?

Prediction: The wife is in on it, she's trying to cure her partner of her fears, but it backfires and lesbo is going to go on a killing spree possibly as a clown.

She is literally the only good actress they have left.
I just wish they stop pushing OP's faggot, i get he must give Ryan great head but holy fuck.

I just want the lesbians to die. Are they gonna drag this out the whole season?

Send in the clowns!

>If you’ve been wondering what it might have felt like to be a fanatically left-wing woman in the months following President Trump’s election, the first episode of American Horror Story: Cult gives you an inkling. Our protagonist has visions of killer clowns nobody else can see rampaging through the supermarket on scooters while she haplessly lobs bottles of rosé at them. Dark? Meh. Disturbing? Not really. Hilarious? Now you’re getting the idea. “This is just like what happened to me in college after 9/11 when I couldn’t leave my apartment!” complains the woman. Yep, there’s a sure sign that you’ve completely lost touch with reality.

>The seventh season of the FX Network horror anthology series, which has a different storyline each year, seems to be the first major Hollywood production to grapple with the Trump presidency on TV or at the movies. It kicked off this season’s opener on September 5 with news footage of then-candidate Donald Trump and — what’s her name? The lady who just assumed she was going to beat him? It segues into what election-night television coverage looked like from two living rooms in a posh suburb in Michigan. In one, a psychotic blue-haired freak who looks like the kind of guy who would make the Joker slightly uncomfortable joyously watches Fox News: “The revolution has begun!” he crows, and “F*** you, world!” and “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” This is the bad guy, if you were wondering.

I skipped the last two seasons. This is alright so far.

>In another, huge and beautifully appointed home in the same town, the series’ central figure, Ally Mayfair-Richards, a lesbian who owns a restaurant with her wife Ivy (Allison Pill), is having a breakdown watching CNN. “Oh my God, Merrick Garland,” she exclaims. “What’s gonna happen with Merrick Garland?” Like I said: comedy gold. The eager, well-spoken progressives in the house are already turning on one another: One guest, a city councilman, berates another, saying, “Look at our friends on the couch and tell them that they might not be able to retain their rights as a married couple because you were too busy on Etsy to go vote!” Everyone is in general agreement that Trump is going to “get us all killed” and abortion will be banned, though it’s left unclear why anyone should much care about the latter detail after the first one comes to pass. On a later episode, Ally will be so flustered by everything that’s going on that she shoots and kills one of her own employees, a Latino, but the police seem to shrug that off as an oopsie. Well-off white progressives get a mulligan for that sort of thing, I guess. We all know they mean well.

>Ally is somewhat of a figure of fun — “You know we don’t like cis-normative pet names,” she tells her son — but she’s also the Cassandra here, the one whose demented visions are, all. Too. Real. Mysterious figures are spraying the neighborhood with lethal chemicals, and that murderous pack of clowns roaming the area is a costumed Manson family, carrying out acts of violence so graphically depicted that they would have been shocking even in an R-rated movie in the 1970s. Despite the savage killings in the area, everyone poo-poohs Ally’s anguish as if they’re in on a Rosemary’s Baby conspiracy, even the babysitter, a Hillary Clinton fan who bemoans the election like everyone else (“We gave a year of our lives for this. We dropped out of Vassar!”).

I found Sarah Paulson's character insufferable and stopped midway in episode one.

>Though the Trump hysteria is hysterical — really, DJT fans, you have to see at least the first episode, you’ll never stop laughing — as the series goes on its politics become more diffuse, especially in the fourth episode, which is the latest one that has been made available to critics in the projected eleven-episode season. Our blue-haired friend the Fox News revolutionary turns out to be Kai, an aspiring cult leader who talks like a cross between a fire-and-brimstone televangelist and Matthew McConaughey in True Detective. The point of the series is not so much that Trump is evil as that he is the cause of evil in others, his election having flipped over a large flat rock of the American subconscious to let out the squiggly, filthy impulses underneath. Kai isn’t really a political figure but an agent of chaos: All the chatter about illegal immigration and political correctness is for him just the means to unleash merry hell.

>In a word, the show’s writers believe Trump’s election has amped up fear in America, on both sides. “Above all, humans love fear,” says Kai. They pile it up “as tall as the Trump Tower.” As the show is constructed, though, this plays out a bit like the shoplifter blaming security guards for her habit. Trump, after all, promised to allay existing fears — “I alone can fix it,” “this American carnage stops right here and right now.” If he promised to end abortion, start World War III, or force American women to dress like the Puritan Taliban, I missed it, and he’s also the first president ever to arrive in the Oval Office saying he was okay with gay marriage.

Did they lose every re-occurring actor other than Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters? Where's my waifu Lily Rabe?

>The things about him that the Left most fears (or feared; AHS: Cult already seems a bit like a period piece from six months ago, when progressives on social media were collectively setting their hair on fire) are products of the Left’s imagination. Our progressive friends have had a hard time learning that Trump, whatever his failings, isn’t Hitler — the image that the serial killers in the show seem to be conjuring up with their trademark, a happy face written in blood, with a vertical smear suggesting a narrow mustache under the nose.

>When AHS stitches together liberal fears, a lot of ragged seams are left showing. One of the good Trump-hating liberals on the show lectures Kai, “You are afraid, we are not,” just before another Trump-hating liberal tells her shrink about all of her debilitating Trump-induced phobias, not excluding a fear of coral. Nor does it make a lot of sense when the Fox News–loving villain gives an angry speech praising collectivism: “Every single member of the hive is completely committed to a single task.” Er, remind me, which party’s last president said things like “preserving our individual freedom ultimately requires collective action”? Which party’s 2016 candidate issued a campaign manifesto called Stronger Together? Which one insists it takes a village to raise a child? To minute the most vivid left-wing fears is to produce a catalogue of projection.

The prior season was ok, it got retarded at the end but it was a harmless and somewhat funny found footage flickshow.

MAN RUNS FOR POLITICS BY EXPLOITING FEARS OF POPULACE GENIUS

Earmuffs' muffs are the only reason to watch

not really, it just assumed that an edgy trumptard browsed Sup Forums

This dude pisses me off for some reason. He has an annoying face.

Eh, might check it out sometime. I dropped season 4 after the first episode or so, premise just wasn't appealing to me.

U S A
U S A

Never seen this any I don't like horror. Is this worth checking out.

This is the only right answer.She's been crying every season and it's really annoying.

...

>fanatically left-wing

I bet 100% whoever wrote this is just a basic bitch liberal

How do the clowns get into the house?

Because you voted for Trump

WITNESSED

I didn't vote.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Hzrbbga8c

This is from Glee Project (Ryan Murphy is sitting in the middle)

I'm convinced he's laughing at the midget and not with him.

i hate her cries and how she runs

Literally fucking memes the show.

Neither did I.

>all these shrieking hysterical faggots fucking absolutely FREAKING the fuck out over stupid bullshit
>they deserve each other

I voted for Turmp because I wanted to be able to say I was part of the cause of all the butthurt after he won.

Then I found out I really had nothing to do with it and it was all the Russians.

DARE I SAY IT...

/OURGUY/!

I saw an ad on tv, the first thing I saw was an announcement of Trump being elected, some woman that looks like a man howling like a dog and then that retard screaming like an autist.

I'm not watching this trash, and I'm glad I've never watched any episode of the show.

>that retard screaming like an autist.

OUR FUCKING GUY!

*ominous hat music*

The clips that have been shared here are hilarious, but I won't watch this piece of shit show.

I laughed my ass off. This whole fucking thing was hysterical right to the clowns fucking by the watermelon.

weird assumption to make

>Politics based season portraying right wing supporters as evil in the world and deranged left wingers as the victims
As a non USAfag here, I tell you, this premise is kek material. You guys are taking your politic shit too far, but I guess it's worth a few keks.
Just saw the first episode of this thing and could anybody spoil me what's the deal with the edgy kid and his edgy... "whatever" who likes anal?
He's supposed to like Trump and she liked Hillary, but somehow they work together as the edgy leaders of a clown murder cult? Aren't they supposed to hate each other? Is she his sister or is he fucking her? Maybe both because they're so edgy?

I'm almost certain that this season is satire. Nobody can do this kind of a show accidentally.

Enjoy your latte, bitch

It's most certainly satire. People seem confused as to what 'point' it's trying to make because it's not trying to make a point; it's simply riffing on ideas that are popular. That's sort of the show's big thing, isn't it? Pastiche?

>the evil lawyer is a Sup Forumstard

>Lets do a parody of election reactions.
>Trump supporter portrayed as every diagnosable mental illness in the world as well as being a white supremacist masochist.
>Liberal lesbian is portrayed as the average Hillary voting woman.

Interesting

>The blue-haired guy is the alt-righter
>The normal-looking woman is the progressive
That makes no sense.

It's comedy gold, especially with last episode where pedro was blasted by leftie mom after they establish he was good boy who didn't do anything wrong.

The only other season I've seen is the hotel one and that one was good. I'm enjoying this season so far, it's pretty funny but horror wise I've never found clowns to be scary.

HBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

She didn't vote hillary tho

You anons are alright.

Hotel was awful.

>the progressives are all well-off, business owning, family-oriented, clearly living in the upper-middle class

>the "oppressive alt-righter" lives in shit and in poverty, bereft of any real agency or direction, disenfranchised and increasingly nihilistic thanks to the pressure--cooker nature of a "progressive" post-Obama society that puts zero value in his wants and needs

VERY, VERY INTERESTING.

>Fear makes you turn to conservative politics

There, I just saved you from having to watch until the end.

That's probably the first half and the second is about the end boss, the clowns.

I dunno. I kinda enjoy an tryhard Sup Forumstard being the star of a network television show.

No. That's the whole thing. The whole enchilada.

Yeah, but they portray the progressives as constantly on the brink. Not even talking about the chick with the clowns, but her wife as well, who's finding the woman she married has been on the brink of sanity the entire time they've been together. It shows the weakness and pettiness of them, even in something as simple as that Asian couple from the first episode, where the husband blamed his wife for everything that has happened, and everything that will, because Donald Trump.

Sure, they're successful, but what does success mean if you can lose it in an instant?

yfw the clowns are tulpas created by Paulson's character's fears

Her therapist is recurring

I didn't finish the second episode. Who killed the white chef?

Haven't seen the 2nd ep but with every AHS season it starts out sort of interesting but just gets worse every episode. To be 100% honest i've never finsihed a season of AHS, I always get halfway through it and just get bored and stop caring.

I'm still wondering about Winter. Is she really a HIllary shill that quit college to join the campaign or is she like her brother? Is she a wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be a liberal?

How many Hilllary trigger warning SJW liberals watch snuff porn online? Seems like a contradiction.

I oddly kinda agree with her. Though I don't like gore. I like to sometimes go back to Sup Forums or just to Sup Forums to inoculate myself on how shitty people in this world are. Though I wouldn't do it to someone else, certainly not a child.

That was fucking great.

She was a liberal then her brother absorbed her fear or soemthing in the first episode and now she is like that. She is probably the big villian of the season.

Still better than voting for Jill like I did.

I sat through all of Freakshow and I've never been as bored as I was then.

She is Kraid to Kai's Ridley.
We haven't met Mother Brain yet.... OR HAVE WE?!

So.. when are we getting holes in people body horror?

AHS, Affton High School, Missouri.

only season 2.

Anyone got that gif of him fucking his TV with Trump on it?

i also voted for gilf.

I thought this thing was a fucking comedy when I first saw the trailer for the season.

are there any gay sex scenes?

>You're the scared one here, not us
>Entire season is literally about hysterical libshits who cannot cope with reality panicking and throwing bottles of wine around grocery stores at imaginary clowns

The funniest thing about this is that it's actually downplaying the reality of the Left's uncontrollable histrionics. November was the best month of my life.

Impressive

Fear is ultimately what sustains liberals, they are terrified to coming to terms with reality and objectivity. They are ruled not by themselves, but by the leftist collective (which, of course, is directed by the corporate and political elite)

They can't even acknowledge their own sadness and anxiety without a veil of irony. It's pitiable.

absolute KINO

Fuck you, Nate Silver!

...

It is the funniest tv show I have ever seen.

youtube.com/watch?v=GaTVeToFXdk

Didn't that flop in the ratings?
Why do they insist on shoehorning political drivel when it's a poison for the audience?

it's copyrighted

Well they have Abilify so fuck you racist!

Pretty good so far, Sarah Paulson isn't very good looking and I don't like her acting in general but the blonde one with the short hair is super hot

lol no being a fearful faggot makes you a liberal. who do you think are the ones "literally shaking right now" all the time over every little goddamn thing?
