Fans of the animated series “The Simpsons” found a prediction about the outfit of US Vice President Kamala Harris at the inauguration of Joe Biden in one of the 2000 episodes. The Independent reports.
In a series called “Bart Into the Future,” the matured heroine Lisa Simpson is depicted as the future head of state. According to the plot, she is elected after Donald Trump, and the girl claims that her administration inherited from him “a rather big financial crisis”.
Viewers noticed that Lisa Simpson’s presidential outfit is very similar to the costume in which Kamala Harris was present at the inauguration ceremony on January 20. She was dressed the same as the character in the episode mentioned: a purple coat, complete with a pearl necklace and earrings.
Fans of the series were surprised by the coincidence and commented on it on Twitter. “Yes, everything that will ever happen in the future has already been in The Simpsons”, “It’s time to revisit The Simpsons for the stock market game and crypto predictions”, “Okay, it’s clear, the Simpsons writers are travelers to time “, they wrote.
The Simpsons have long been famous for their “prophecies.” For example, two decades before Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, jokes about him appeared in the series. In addition, the 1993 episode featured a headline referring to the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
At the same time, the 1996 series showed the scene of the storming of the Capitol building, repeated in real life in January 2021, when Trump supporters tried to attack the US Congress. Fans of the series also noticed that actor Tom Hanks, who took part in the inauguration ceremony, had previously addressed the Americans during the “moment of crisis” in the animated feature film “The Simpsons” in 2007.
