No matter how many times the writers dismiss it by calling it ‘luck’ or mere ‘coincidence’, at this point in time, the world, especially conspiracy theorists, are more than convinced that the writers of the popular show ‘The Simpsons’ have some or the other way to see the ‘future’. By now, people have noticed far too many events that went down in history exactly in the manner that were shown in the show decades ago. Further leaving ‘believers’ with a renewed ‘assurity’, US Vice President Kamala Harris’ sudden Presidential nomination only triggered a plethora of reactions on the internet.
For those unaware, with just four months left for the US elections, President Joe Biden, who was running to win for a second consecutive term, shocked the world with the sudden announcement of electing VP Harris as the nominee on behalf of the Democrats for upcoming elections.
Coming back to the show and its new ‘prediction’, what fanned the ‘future prediction’ flames was the episode ‘Bart of the Future’ from March 2000, where Lisa Simpson was elected as the new US President. The outfit that she chose to wear for the ceremony had a striking resemblance to what Harris wore during her oath ceremony last time. With Harris now running for the post of President, people can’t help but compare the events with the show’s story.
As soon as the nomination went viral, people jumped to their theories, along with other reactions on the internet. Memes, jokes and other reactions flooded social media in regards to the same. Taking to the internet, people shared their take.
“The Simpsons are back at it again,” a user said.

“The Simpsons has done it again! Here's from the 17th episode of the 11th season (in the year 2000) showing Lisa Simpson as the first female president of the United States talking about how the country is broke after President Trump. And, here's Kamala wearing the same outfit at Biden's inauguration,” added a fifth.
