As incredible as it may seem, the images stand out in 2021 as chaotic for the US. UU. And netizens have viralized the comparison between the cartoon and the real facts.
The Simpsons did it again. They again predicted the future of American politics. On this occasion: the chaos that would cause the 2015 elections in the United States. Proof of this is the chapter ‘Treehouse of Horror XXX’; chapter 4 of season 32.
The mythical episode shows that Homer is not interested in the elections so he does not go out to vote. Marge scolds him, but he only replies, ‘how bad can it be ?. A second later it is seen that it is already January 2021 and Springfield is on fire and destroyed due to protests over the election results.

Coincidence or prediction? Internet users consider that this is the second reason why they have flooded the web with comparisons of images of the cartoon, versus the real ones.
The most surprising thing is that it is not the only episode where they predict political chaos. Since the first of season 11, Homer and Mel Gibson are planning a movie. In it, the protagonist kills all members of the US Congress and sets fire to the capitol.

Very similar to what happened yesterday at the Capitol in Washington. What should have been a mere formality turned into an “insurrection” on Wednesday that “bordered on sedition,” in Biden’s words, when a crowd of Trump supporters invaded the Capitol, considered the temple of American democracy.
The images that have circled the world in recent hours are still incredible: politicians entrenched and wearing gas masks, protesters installed in the offices of American officials with their feet on the table and the noble corridors of the Capitol invaded by armed agents, as if it were an American action movie.
A boom in social media
The assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump generated 23,460,000 tweets, an average of 430 per second, according to data compiled Thursday on Visibrain.
The event produced 2.5 times more tweets than in the last 24 hours of the November presidential election, the social media monitoring platform has indicated.
These elections had already generated a volume of tweets six times higher than in the previous 2016 elections.
Trump supporters sowed chaos at the Capitol on Wednesday, in an attempt to prevent ratification of Joe Biden’s election victory by the U.S. Congress, which finally validated it.
Twitter and Facebook temporarily blocked the outgoing president’s accounts – he had called on his supporters to advance to the Capitol – and the bluebird’s social network threatened to suspend him permanently.
