I know a lot has been going on this past week with American politics. In the past, I usually make my sentiments known whenever a major event occurs. As an American and someone who genuinely takes pride in his country, I am affected by these events. I want to see the country I love thrive and prosper for all the right reasons. And when something terrible happens, I don’t hide how I feel about it.
But this past week, I had to restrain myself. I won’t go into detail because I don’t care to attract certain reactionary elements of American politics.
However, there is one particular event I’d like to highlight. This past weekend, President Joe Biden announced that he is dropping out of the 2024 election and will not seek a second term. But in that same announcement, he also voiced his support for nominating Vice President Kamala Harris.
Now, there’s a lot I could say about President Biden and the job he’s done since coming into office. There’s a lot I could say about Kamala Harris, as well. Both have their share of strengths and weaknesses as politicians and public servants. I’m certainly not qualified to delve into them.
Instead, I’ll just point out that, like so many other major historical events, “The Simpsons” may have already foreseen this. And it wouldn’t be the first eerily accurate prediction, either. Now, does that mean that Kamala Harris is certain to be the next President of the United States?
No, of course it doesn’t. You still have to vote and you totally should.
But just take a moment and look at the resemblance.
I’m not saying that those working on “The Simpsons” are time travelers. But if this comes to pass, how the hell are we going to explain it?
