American comic character The Simpsons’ prediction about Kamala Harris turned out to be completely wrong. Kamala Harris was said to be the first female president of the United States due to her purple dress and ties.
A similar prediction failed in 2020 as well, which shows that Spampson’s predictive power in political matters is limited.
A 2000 episode of the show suggested that Lisa Simpson would succeed Trump as president. At the same time, Trump’s presidency and the significant decrease in the budget were also discussed. Later, when Donald Trump was elected as the President of the United States, people showed extraordinary interest in this regard.
People want to see if in real life Trump would like to cut the budget. At this stage, The Simpsons predicted that there would be a woman president of the United States, but it did not happen.

When Kamala Harris became the first female vice president of the United States, the issue once again became the focus of people’s attention. This time, people hoped that the Simpsons’ prediction would come true, but it didn’t.
So far ten predictions from The Simpsons have been proven wrong. After Trump, there was no female president. In 1995, it was said that robots would work in libraries, but it did not happen.
In a 2005 episode, it was said that by 2013, hovercars, i.e. flying cars, would come, but they didn’t. The Big Ben digital clock prediction in 2010 also turned out to be wrong. A 2010s show also failed to predict mind-controlled robots for household chores.

In 1997, it was predicted that America would win the World Cup, but it did not happen. A 2002 Treehouse Horror episode predicted a Prince hologram concert, but this prediction also failed to materialize.
It is predicted that humans will be settled on Mars by 2026, but humans do not appear to settle there for the next fifteen years. It was said that Apple products will lag behind in technology, but this has not happened so far. The prediction of the town called Springfield turning into a big city like New York also turned out to be wrong.

**Interview with Dr. Emily Carter, Cultural Analyst and Pop Culture Historian**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Carter. The Simpsons has a long history of satirizing politics and predicting future events, but their prediction about Kamala Harris becoming the first female president has once again proven incorrect. What are your thoughts on this failed prediction?
**Dr. Carter:** It’s fascinating, isn’t it? The Simpsons has been both praised and scrutinized for its perceived predictive abilities. The idea that Kamala Harris was seen as a potential first female president, especially with the symbolic representation of her purple dress, highlights how the show often reflects contemporary concerns. Yet, as we see, it doesn’t always translate to reality.
**Editor:** You mentioned the symbolism—how much weight do you think that has in the context of pop culture predictions?
**Dr. Carter:** Symbolism plays a significant role. The color purple, for instance, is often associated with unity and gender representation. However, it’s important to remember that while The Simpsons reflects societal trends, it’s not a crystal ball for the future. Their predictions often highlight the cultural zeitgeist rather than serve as accurate forecasts.
**Editor:** Interestingly, The Simpsons had previously predicted that Lisa Simpson would succeed Trump as president. Do you think the show has a particular bias towards a female presidency in its storytelling?
**Dr. Carter:** I think it’s more about the show’s progressive leanings and its willingness to challenge the status quo. By presenting female characters in positions of power, the series advocates for a future that includes women in leadership roles. But as we’ve seen with both Harris and Lisa, just because a narrative emerges doesn’t mean it will manifest in real-life politics.
**Editor:** The inconsistencies in their political predictions have become a talking point. How does the public react when these predictions don’t come to fruition?
**Dr. Carter:** There tends to be a mix of disappointment and humor. Fans often enjoy dissecting episodes and debating their meanings, which keeps the conversation alive even when predictions fail. It also reflects a broader disillusionment with the political landscape; if a beloved show can’t foresee these outcomes, what does that say about our own struggles to predict the future?
**Editor:** As we look to the future, do you think The Simpsons will continue to influence political discourse, even if its predictions miss the mark?
**Dr. Carter:** Absolutely. The cultural commentary offered by The Simpsons resonates deeply with audiences. The humor embedded in their social critiques often prompts viewers to reflect on reality, stimulating discussions that can lead to real-world implications. Even failed predictions can serve as a springboard for important conversations about gender, politics, and leadership.
**Editor:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Carter. It seems that The Simpsons will remain a significant point of reference in our cultural exploration of politics.
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me! It’s always a pleasure to discuss the intersections of culture and politics.
