(Jewish Group) 'The Simpsons' reminds us of Trump's 'disloyal' Jews comments

While the question of cultural sensitivity and “The Simpsons” remains fluid, the show has always been attuned to the unique concerns of American Jewry. So it’s no real surprise that the forthcoming “Treehouse of Horror” special reminds us of the worst thing President Trump ever said about our voting trends.

In the episode, which opens on Election Day 2020, Homer enters a voting booth and, though he’s sure of what he wants for judges and propositions, stumped when it comes to his candidate for president, he’s stumped.

“Can I write in Judge Judy?” he wonders.

Lisa, long the voice of reason on the show (and according to some timelines, the country’s first “straight female” president) parts the privacy curtain and prompts her father to remember all that’s happened in the past four years.

I call that and Family Guy my Sunday night cartoons. Like I'm 8 again.

The Simpsons always were prophetic. I know too.

Thanx for posting.
