Every time I see one of these Simpsons predicted articles its always a case of history repeating itself in some ways. Trump running for office has been a thing since the 80s. The closest he got before 2016 was in 2000 when he ran for the reform party nomination but dropped out early in the primary stage. Killer bees were a thing back in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. My point in all this is all those articles are usually written by someone who was too young to remember certain things or weren't even born yet.

That clip with the bees swarming out of the truck during the Osaka flu went doubly viral as being loosely predictive of the concurrent "murder hornet" outbreak that was happening during the first wave of the pandemic.

Hey! The audio actually *is* pretty good!

i do the Frank Grimes 'screaming while gripping my hair' every time I see one of those Simpsons predicted it! images go viral using art that is very clearly not in line with how the show actually looks and features something so ludicrously specific in the news like Jan 6 or George Floyd. And people fall for it!
