Dont worry about your retirement plan...

Yes, this is a shitpost community, but I still feel obligated to make sure folks know this isn't real.
- So many fake Simpsons Trump "Predictions" I see them literally everywhere. It's so weird how hard people try to push this shit, especially considering The Simpsons has made plenty of amazingly and eerily accurate ... prognostications? But you never see those on mainstream social media. Only the fake Trump ones.
  
  It's all ragebaiting and clicks now.
  
  I didn't believe because it looks like it happened post season 10 and therefore isn't canon
- BUT IT COULD BE
- I'm looking at it right now
- It's real to me
- No, it's not, but the article you linked is about a different fake image.
  
  But the title of the article is "Did 'The Simpsons' Predict President Trump's Death". And it's rated "false". If The Simpsons did predict his death, just not as indicated by the specific image mentioned in the article, surely that would be mentioned and the overall rating would be something like "mixture" rather than "false".
  I suppose unless The Simpsons predicted his death in an episode released after that Snopes article was written. In which case, fair point.

Aside from the fact that this is entirely fake- I’ll say…
If only.
- I'll say, it wouldn't fix anything. Vance is way more psychotic and calculated. He's actually waaaay more dangerous than Trump.
  Vance combines the philosophy of a Nazi legal theory loving ivy league elite like Adrian Vermeule, with Curtis Yarvin, and Peter Theil. In a lot of ways I think Trump buffoonery keeps people distracted from a lot of their evil shit, but I also honestly feel like Trump's ego demanding he always be the focus of attention, is acting as a chaotic buffer to keep their plans from working out as smoothly as they would like. I think Musk was even probably more of a distraction than we realized, and the only reason he's becoming less involved is because Kratsios is able to do just as much awful shit that nobody wants but look normal by comparison to the chainsaw wielding maniac that was proudly getting like 7 hours of sleep a week. I'm honestly not sure if Theil set him up once again like he did with PayPal. Or did Musk know he was just the face that would take the blame for holding the country hostage while robbing us of money that will now be sunk into an absurd number of AI projects with Thiel's protege at the helm as Science Advisor?
  I wish we could just get the entire dishonest administration removed from office, but we can't even get most members of the House and Senate to acknowledge they're actively trying to destroy the United States because they seriously believe their loyalty will be rewarded. Bc the fuckers that plan to replace everything with shitty AI would definitely never be able to replace them.
  
  trump's danger is in his charisma, which vance lacks. even with his gifts, he would be less effective
  
  ...because they seriously believe their loyalty will be rewarded.
  This is the only part I disagree with. I don't think they think they'll be rewarded, they just don't want to be targeted. Trump is a mob boss.
  
  The US system baffles me.
  No way an unelected individual would take office in my country.
  If the president dies, the national assembly president assumes the role, internally, and is mandated, by force of law, to schedule elections to within 90 days.
  The only time an unelected person was nominated for a government role in this country ended terribly, with the president disbanding the national assembly and scheduling elections in less than 30 days after the apointment and the appointment had been aproved by the national assembly.
  
  Good point and well said. Thank for the effort you made to write that up.
- How would you know? The only way to verify this is to actually watch something from the last twenty years of The Simpsons, and nobody's going to do that.
  
  It's me, I did that. Never missed an episode (except for the 4 I am behind on, that I am going to watch this weekend).
  
  Ummm…. Because it’s been disproven by the show creator himself here, and here is an article explaining how this isn’t the first time people tried to do this.
  
  for the pursuit of science and culture i have watched seasons 22, 25, 33, and 35. there's around 6 episodes with watching in that group of ~80

He can't die. If he dies how will he institute martial law April 20th?
- All the more reason that the protest on April 19th is the most important one yet. It may be our last chance to have one safely.
  
  I have the thought they're going to use the protests on the 19th as provocation to institute martial law... I'm all for the protest and have been to most of the 50501s but the 19th has me worried.
- lmao I was thinking the same. I have it in my calendar. can't remember what the reason is supposed to be, but April 20th is martial law day
  
  April 20th is Hitler's birthday
  And also Easter so maybe he's gonna arrest the Easter bunny
  And also the weed smokers
  
  Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth are compiling reports regarding the "national emergency" at the border, and advising if the insurrection act is an appropriate response. Their reports are due the 20th.
  
  Something about 420 being a nazi thing.
- He would be preserved by all the McDonald's he ate

Don’t get our hopes up. Everyone knows this man is a cockroach
- American cockroaches live two terms on average. Years. Not terms. I don't know why I said that.
- Well in that case may e he can find religion? https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/11/23/africa/south-african-insecticide-prophet

The ‘deep state’ has the chance to do the funniest things ever

It's fake, he's drawn way too thin.
- nah hes just holding the fat together behind his back like homer did in the simpsons movie
- Not thin enough. He should be quartered too.

Don't give me hope...
- Was going to say this exactly

- Three people did. With poor aim and planning.
  
  Probably more than three, tbf. We got to hear about the three that got close and not the Discord group where everyone realized they were part of the same FBI counterinsurgency group and then half of them got fired.
  
  You sincerely think those were real attempts?
- I guess the gun crowd is mostly maga and the remaining think there'll be (legal) justice for him. Someday. Maybe.
  
  It's a suicide mission. You're talking about killing the most protected human on the planet. Your guns, planning, money, they won't go far and you'll die in the process.
  Father time is the best hope for a swift end to Trump.
- You're guaranteeing your death for something that has low odds of succeeding.

four more days fellas we can do this
- something something second amendment

Where is the Robin Hood of our time, with heart pure and aim true?

You really want President JD "couchfucker" Vance?
- He doesn't have command of the zombie voodoo magic, hopefully this whole thing finally falls apart.
  
  Dude can't even charm his wife.
- More than anyone else? No.
  More than Trump? Yes.
- vance would likely be impeached also, for being a retard, along with probably the next 20 people down the line lmao.
  The entire trump cabinet is people with IQs less than 40.
- Over Trump, yes. He don't have the charisma to lead a cult like Dear Leader. Plus, Trump's so bad there aren't many ways he could be worse.

Technically this was wrong. They already tried.

Depends on what season this is from. Can't really say the Simpsons Did It rule applies to the last fifteen years or so.
Edit: Not even real womp womp

Don't give me hope like that.
I'm more optimistic than the average Lemmy user, but that's too much.

Is this an actual episode?
- Looks like AI to me

Open casket means that some dummy had mercy on him, or they just borrowed that one animatronic from Disney World.

🤞

If only

Please happen. Please

And let that snake, Vance, take over?
- I think there'd be a power vacuum that could disrupt the current trajectory.
  
  Agreed, no one in the GOP has the cult of personality thing like Drumpf. The remaining grifters will attack each other in their quest for power like a Humboldt squid feeding frenzy (Google that if you’ve been sleeping too peacefully lately.)
  
  I read this and all I can picture is Zapp Brannigan charting a course around black holes and through comet fields...
- Vance doesn't have the support of the personality cult. He can't hold MAGA together. The whole thing will splinter.
