American Horror Story season 7, Cult, premiered Tuesday night with a terrifying new twist on politics. Comparing to previous seasons, season 7 not only incorporates current world affairs that makes it unsettlingly relatable, but it also keeps its roots with an eerie storyline.

Evan Peters, who viewers have missed being the star, plays a psychotic conservative, which actually is not so far-fetched. Sarah Paulson, on the other hand, plays his equal opposite, as a liberal who begins to lose her mind when Donald Trump is elected president, which is, again, mostly relatable.

This season definitely does not lack relatability, or originality, but like previous seasons, it does lack in premiering.The first episode of every season should leave the viewers wondering ‘what’s going to happen next,’ not ‘what can top that.’ However, the character development is unbeatable when Paulson’s character begins to hallucinate and jeopardize her family by swearing on her sight of clowns.

The question to whether or not she is actually seeing clowns is still unanswered, but honestly, do creepy clowns even begin to compare to Trump’s presidency?
