No, The Simpsons Didn’t Somehow Predict The Horned fukkwit From The US Capitol Insurrection

Though it’s long-accepted that The Simpsons is a powerful future-seeing soothsayer, hiding all the world’s imminent developments within its animated walls, there are simply some things that even the show of shows cannot predict. No matter how badly people want that to be true.
While the story of how The Simpsons somewhat accurately predicted that everything would go to hell after the 2020 US Presidential Election (though you didn’t exactly need to be a wizard to see that coming), another Simpsons-related post doing the rounds today sadly isn’t quite as it seems.
The social media meme shows Groundskeeper Willie dressed in a horned fur headdress, sporting wall-like arm tattoos, and brandishing an American flag. Eerily similar to (frankly insane) getup sported by one of the more prominent figures in yesterday’s insurrection and invasion of the US Capitol building. That man, real name Jake Angeli (alias “the QAnon Shaman”), is now among the throng of people being actively investigated by the FBI for the casual handful of Federal Crimes they committed on live TV yesterday.
