The Simpsons and Its Eerie Track Record of Predictions
The Simpsons has developed a reputation for making surprisingly accurate predictions, and recent comparisons have reignited interest in this trend.
In the 2000 episode Bart to the Future, Lisa Simpson is depicted as President, dressed in a purple suit and pearl necklace, as she discusses the budget deficit left by President Trump in the Oval Office. This visual parallel caught attention when Kamala Harris assumed the role of Vice President in 2021, wearing a notably similar outfit.
While the show accurately predicted Trump's presidency, the timeline for Lisa’s depiction as President differs from real events. The episode implies her presidency would occur in 2030, following Trump’s term, not within the 2024 election cycle.
Nevertheless, The Simpsons has a notable history of foreseeing real-world events, from Trump’s presidency to advancements like autonomous vehicles and scandals such as the horse meat controversy. Given this record, their upcoming storylines may be worth observing for potential future insights.
