Basically what I think of Simpsons "predictions".
Matt Groening isn't some kind of clairvoyant. He just knows history recognizes patterns.
Which prediction exactly? The one about the current president becoming president, their writer was interviewed about, and he said they just chose him to symbolize the US hitting rock bottom. As they were smart and informed and therefore realized the then real estate mogul was a crooked lying cheater, that lied to steal and then slandered his victims to justify it, that was in bed with organized crime. I don't know if they knew that he was a career blackmailer, and also being blackmailed by Israel and their Epstein, and the Russians at a minimum though.
But the prediction isn't all that clairvoyant, because in their version the president just bankrupted us and then we elected Lisa, which would be a best case scenario as Lisa is a good person. While the president's party here will bankrupt the country, they are fixing elections, something the show didn't see, or put in the episode.
More like the show has been running for over three decades, it would be weird if they didn't hit a few.
I'm scared about the prediction of Britain saving America's ass in WW3.
Oh, that's wrong. Nobody is gonna come save America.
The UK is one of the original Axis III powers. They are beating the US to the punch in some respects.
