She epitomises fear, with a list of phobias longer than Clinton's celebrity endorsements fear of clowns, holes, and small spaces to name a few. Unlike the empowered Kai, Paulson's Ally appears to be the opposite. Yes, Kai is the stereotypical, media-portrayed Trump supporter - almost as if he's been written by Lena Dunham herself subtle the show is not! His interactions with sister Winter Anderson (Billie Lourd) illustrate such, as the twisted individual evidently enjoys holding power over others smirking when she reveals she is most terrified of him. No doubt this aim also provides him with a sense of power as well. He wants chaos to erupt, and fear to prevail, because this is a way for certain people to gain power. His vision for power is far from rosy in one scene he taunts a group of Hispanic men, eventually throwing a urine filled condom at them. In itself this should be a good thing, politics inspiring people, particularly youth, yet this is Trump's America and so Kai's revolution isn't for everyone. He feels empowered by the new administration, thrilled at the prospect of a revolution. Peters' Kai is a terrifying personification of the dark side of the election. Cult attempts to illuminate on either side of the spectrum we have Kai Anderson (Evan Peters) who represents the psyche of (some of) Trump's disciples, alongside Ally Mayfair-Richards (Sarah Paulson), a liberal who feels as though the world is erupting into chaos. It's about cold, hard reality the fears which so painfully plagued Americans in 2016, and continue to this very day. Forget the ghosts, witches and aliens which have featured in previous seasons, because season seven is about the here and now.
I think SpoilerTV's own Max Conte, our AHS previewer, summed up well by commenting that it's "more grounded in reality than any previous season".
#Webyep review series
The latest incarnation of the thrilling anthology series is, as creator Ryan Murphy noted to The Hollywood Reporter, "a true American horror story", opening with a montage of real life clips from the 2016 presidential race. The latter brings us to American Horror Story: Cult (we'll get back to the clowns later - I know everyone's dying to think about them again!). Oh and of course, who could forget the clownish tweets and behaviour of the President over the past few months as well. The last twelve months, particularly in America, have been plagued with what some would call an epidemic of clowns - from the "2016 clown sightings", as Wikipedia refers to them, to the announcement of a remake of Stephen King's chilling tale IT. Coulrophobia is arguably a fear many of us experience, yet have no specific name for it's the fear of clowns.
