The Simpsons doesn't predict anything. It's just that society has become so absurd it starts to look like a parody of itself.

Are you fkn serious, and how many democratic representatives, mayors, and senate members went to Cancun or on vacation during their states moment of crisis? New York, Cali... tell me how many again

Well, your politicians are greedy, cronyistic, cynical self-centered shameless people. Caricature that as much as you can, they’ll end up doing it in real life anyway.

No they didn't, it just shows when a disgusting person takes no responsibility for anything and yet is incharge of a public office. Vote Cruz out.

They only predict a politician would do this, which isnt much of a surprise. Pretty much shows problem exist way beyond, just that social media is bigger now.

Why aren't they specific and say a Texas Senator named Ted Cruz will abandon the state during a statewide freeze and blackouts for Cancun in 2021. They are really trying to hard to convince us they are prophets. Prophets are never wrong and Simpsons have thousands of years and thirty years of false predictions

We should just stop with the videos of the Simpson's "did they predict it". Yes!! Of course they predict everything..duh!! No question. The writers sold their souls long ago for the one power to predict all the stupid things...well all stupid things stupid people do😂😂😂 Why they will out live us all😂😂

Probably just portraying things that have happened before. Even our Prime Minister went to Hawaii during the bushfires here last year. Having said that, it's the same episode which has already 'predicted' a few things about 2020/21.

The Simpsons writers aren't clairvoyant, they just write political punchlines that are satirically over the top... It just so happens that Republicans have sunk so low that satire actually describes them accurately now.

Guys, the segment where President Lisa is discussing with her cabinet about the budget crisis was making fun of the then popular third party, the Reform Party, whom Trump gave his support at the time. Don’t rely on the Simpsons predicting future events, life is filled with coincidences and surprises.

No. These were more like editorials for the time. No matter how things seem, it does not mean someone controls or decides our futures, they don't. The only ones who create the futures & everything in it are everyone who's here now. 🐦

@Gabriel Rodriguez 53% of texas voted for trump. texas is starting to change, the old republicans are dying and the younger people are becoming old enough to vote, and i can tell you because im one of those people who live here in texas that the majority are on the left.

daniel neubecker7 days ago
@Gabriel Rodriguez clearly you don’t know anything about texas’ energy, because renewable energy makes up a tiny percent of the state’s energy. texas gets its energy mostly from nonrenewable sources like natural gas and oil and has its own power grid, because the stupid republicans think that operating their own power grid instead of being interconnected with other states is smart. terrible republican leadership in texas, can’t wait to see it flip blue someday.
