<P> Set in the year 2017 , the fictitious town of Brookfield Heights , Michigan , is left divided upon the wake of Donald Trump 's presidential election . Local restaurant owner Ally Mayfair - Richards ( Sarah Paulson ) is left utterly distraught , along with her wife Ivy ( Alison Pill ) . Despite the help of her psychiatrist , Dr. Rudy Vincent ( Cheyenne Jackson ) , Ally becomes increasingly unstable in the following weeks , her long repressed phobias begin to re-emerge , and they begin to affect her relationships with her wife as well as their son Oz ( Cooper Dodson ) . Across town , a young man named Kai Anderson ( Evan Peters ) rejoices at the election results , enticing him to pursue political power by running for city council , with the help of his reluctant , liberal sister Winter ( Billie Lourd ) , who was also hired by the Mayfair - Richards household as their babysitter . As Ally attempts to adjust to regular life despite her growing anxiety and paranoia , she becomes terrorized by a group of masked assailants in clown attire who are only present when she is alone , leaving those around her to wonder if she was truly attacked , or if they were merely hallucinations . With Kai 's rise to power revealing sinister motives , as well as suspicious activities from other residents such as her eccentric neighbors Harrison ( Billy Eichner ) and Meadow Wilton ( Leslie Grossman ) amplifying her growing distrust of those around her , Ally starts to draw connections between her alleged clown attackers and the many strange incidents occurring in Brookfield Heights , and she begins to fear that everyone in town is out to get her . This season mostly deals with marginalization , with other themes including politics , government , conspiracies , paranoia , fear , power , disenfranchisement , the media , sexism , and oppression . </P>
