The Simpsons, the famous animated series, has gained notoriety for its «predictions» about future events.

Over the years, the show has anticipated everything from Donald Trump’s rise to the presidency to the FIFA corruption scandal, the popularity of smartwatches, and the «Hawk Tuah» phenomenon.

However, for the first time in its history, the show has failed one of its most talked-about predictions: Kamala Harris’s electoral victory, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The episode that sparked the controversy was «Bart to the Future,» aired on March 19, 2000.

In this episode, Lisa Simpson, Bart’s sister, is elected President of the United States.

What has caused a stir on social media is the striking similarity between Lisa’s attire, who wears a purple pantsuit and a pearl necklace, and what Kamala Harris wore during her inauguration as vice president in January 2021.

The coincidence, along with interpretations by the most fervent fans of The Simpsons, led many to believe that the episode anticipated Harris’s presidency. «We know The Simpsons have a weird ability to predict the future.

In an episode, Lisa becomes president and wears a purple suit and pearls, similar to Kamala Harris’s outfit at her vice presidential inauguration.

Coincidence? I DON’T THINK SO!» wrote a user on social media. Another user posted an image comparing Lisa Simpson with Harris, suggesting the series had «predicted» the future.

During Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony in January 2021, Kamala Harris stunned in a purple ensemble designed by Christopher John Rogers, with shoes by Sergio Hudson and a necklace by Wilfredo Rosado, matching Lisa’s look in the episode.

Furthermore, in the episode, Lisa assumes the presidency after a term of Donald Trump, who leaves a huge fiscal deficit, a detail that is also interpreted as a clear reference to the current political landscape of the United States.

Despite the excitement generated by the similarity of the events, reality did not fulfill The Simpsons’ prediction.

Harris did not become president in the 2024 elections, and her defeat against Trump, which many thought would be prophesied by the series, did not occur.

The disappointment was palpable among the show’s liberal fans, who lamented the «failed» prediction.

«It’s the first time The Simpsons were wrong,» a user mourned, reflecting the disappointment of many who hoped that the famous series, known for its ability to anticipate events, would be right once again.

Meanwhile, others wonder if this will be the last misstep of The Simpsons in the realm of predictions or if, somehow, the future of American politics will continue to be as unpredictable as ever.
