The first scene is beyond parody: the main character sobs as her screen shows the results of the 2016 election. The villain starts cheering and humping his tv screen, before grinding up cheetos putting it on his face and doing a Donald Trump impression.

We later learn that the main character is racked with guilt because she voted for JILL FUCKING STEIN as a protest. Her wife resents her for this too.

The main character's fear of clowns flares up in the wake of the election - a fear which was brought about because of 9/11. Naturally, this happens just when a cult of clowns infiltrates and takes over the town to spread "Fear." The cult's initiation ritual is a pinky promise.

    I didn't believe this so I looked it up to confirm and I still don't believe it, so now I might watch it but I still won't believe it.

    Take a drink every time the writers exhibit Trump Derangement Syndrome.

      I swear to god it is the most batshit insane thing I've ever seen. And it doesn't get any less insane as the season goes on - there's literally just random twists in the middle of episodes for no fucking reason

      I love it so much
