"The Simpsons" has a history of making surprisingly accurate predictions, and this latest one has people buzzing. In the 2000 episode "Bart to the Future," Lisa Simpson, as president, wears a purple suit and pearl necklace while addressing her team in the Oval Office about the budget deficit left by President Trump ¹. Fast forward to 2021, and Kamala Harris is sworn in as Vice President, wearing a strikingly similar outfit ¹. But did "The Simpsons" really predict the 2024 election results?
It turns out that the show's prediction wasn't entirely accurate. The episode "Bart to the Future" actually depicts Lisa as President in 2030, after Trump's presidency, not in 2024 ². So while "The Simpsons" did predict Trump's presidency, its prediction of Lisa's presidency and the 2024 election results wasn't quite on point ³.
Still, it's impressive how often "The Simpsons" has made eerily accurate predictions over the years. From Trump's presidency to autonomous cars and even horse meat scandals, the show's writers seem to have a knack for forecasting the future ¹. Maybe we should keep an eye on their next predictions?
