As the 2024 Presidential election inches closer, The Simpsons fans are wondering if the iconic cartoon has already forecast the results of the race.
The Simpsons, the longest-running animated series in history, has garnered a reputation for its uncanny ability to predict the future.
Some of the most eerie prophecies from the show that have come true over the years range from AI robots’ takeover to Donald Trump running for U.S. presidency.
A number of social media users have pointed out that an episode that aired on March 19, 2000, titled Bart to the Future, may have predicted the results of the election on November 5.
‘We all know that the Simpsons has this uncanny ability to predict the future. In an episode, Lisa becomes president and she mainly wears purple suit and pearls, similar to Kamala Harris’s outfit in her vice president inauguration. Coincidence? I THINK NOT,’ one person said.
‘The Simpsons predict Kamala Harris will be President,’ said another person who shared a side by side picture of Harris and Lisa as president.
At President Joe Biden’s inauguration, held on January 20, 2021, Harris was clad in a purple ensemble designed by Christopher John Rogers with Sergio Hudson-designed shoes and a necklace from Wilfredo Rosado.
In the episode Lisa is elected president, she is seen wearing a purple pantsuit and a strand of pearls.
Compounding the coincidences is that Lisa’s presidency comes after an implied presidency from Donald Trump, which caused a massive deficit.
Lisa, as president in the episode, says, ‘As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.’
‘But look at the Simpsons prediction and it said something bout Trump in this year of 2024 and look at Lisa Simpsons became the first female President and it had Kamala Harris also the first President of the United States,’ said a third person.
‘The Simpsons just may predicted our next president,’ a fourth person said
