The Simpsons" yet again made eerily accurate predictions - this time about Inauguration Day
https://www.wvlt.tv/2021/01/22/the-simpsons-yet-again-made-eerily-accurate-predictions-this-time-about-inauguration-day/
(CBS)- Many people couldn’t help but draw similarities between Inauguration Day 2021 and the past. No, they weren’t comparing it to past presidential inaugurations, but to old scenes in “The Simpsons.”
The 2000 episode “Bart to the Future” is a play on “Back to the Future” – but it very much reflects our present. In the episode, Lisa Simpson, who becomes president, wears a purple jacket and pearls. On Inauguration Day, Vice President Kamala Harris wore the same outfit.
It wasn’t just the attire that was similar. As Lisa sits in the Oval Office, she says her presidency has “inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.”
Over the past four years, many fans of “The Simpsons” have pointed out that the show predicted Mr. Trump would one day be president. This episode also accurately predicts that a woman would become one of the most powerful leaders in the U.S. after his term.
