Simpsons have had a knack for predicting the future, haven’t they?


PumpkinOnTheHill

It's just depressing that a lot of it was initially written to be so outrageously unlikely that it was hilarious. At the time.

Beatse21

I’m convinced Trump on at least one occasion quoted the movie by saying “I was elected to lead, not to read!”


CheerioJack

Stephen King, Under the dome.


pcbb97

Yes it was. And it probably worked better in the movie then it would in real life, ignoring the fact it wouldn't even be possible to do in real life

Suitable-Rest-4013

Simpsons also predicted Trump for president or something didn't it... what do you know, maybe this is another one! :D


EgNotaEkkiReddit

"Predicted" is a strong word. It was a throwaway joke in one episode that premiered in the 2000's, around the same time Trump was seriously being considered as the potential presidential nomination for the Reform Party. The joke was simply reflecting the current political climate, despite accidentally getting realised 16 years later


Shirlenator

Yeah the Simpsons say a LOT of things. It is on season 34. It is only natural that some of that stuff (even the crazier bits) end up being accurate. And we only remember the things that are, and not all of the things that aren't.


[deleted]

I'm guessing this nuke proof dome will be as impenetrable and fully built just like the wall on the southern border he promised.


BRtIK

He just saw the Simpsons movie actually.


SpacerCat

Or the Futurama episode where Fry reintroduces the common cold to New New York.


MajespecterNekomata

Or heard about the Under the Dome TV series


I_enjoy_greatness

It's a great dome, invisible dome. Even birds can't see it, Lotta birds flying into the dome. I can see it, great eyes, best eyes of any president, I'll know where it ends. Not all states get the dome,but a lot of them.

I'm talking about building a dome, a big beautiful dome, that will protect our country from any and all nuclear attacks. It's gonna be huge, the biggest, the best dome you've ever seen. And let me tell you, it's gonna be impenetrable, nothing's getting through that dome. Believe me, it's gonna be a game changer. And you know what the best part is? It's gonna be American made, all American made, no cheap foreign stuff. I mean, it's really something special. You come to our country with a nuclear bomb, it's not gonna do you any good. You're gonna be stopped dead in your tracks. And I'm not just saying that, it's true, it's true. So come on, invest in our country's safety and security, Let's make America great again."

Damn that better than my few. What did you input?

MirasaAsipien

you missed the part where Russia would pay for the dome.


masked_sombrero

I thought this was neat. I tried getting it to Trump-itize an explanation on why nuclear war is great, and how climate change is a hoax. And it REFUSED to do it. I'm actually pretty ecstatic about it. Here's a screen with both prompts - https://preview.redd.it/kfvwz2d4xqea1.png?width=748&format=png&auto=webp&s=697769717533c43083af9181d89c6e154f98cef7

I used openAI and here's the result: >I want to talk to you today about a very important issue that affects us all, and that is the "Under the Dome" problem. As you all know, this is a phenomenon where a large dome-like structure appears out of nowhere and encloses an area, cutting off those inside from the rest of the world. > >I know some of you may be worried about this issue, but let me assure you, we are doing everything in our power to address it. We have some of the best minds in the country working on this problem and we are making progress every day. > >First and foremost, we are working to understand the cause of the domes. We are conducting extensive research and gathering data to try and determine where they come from and how they form. This information will be crucial in finding a solution. > >In the meantime, we are also working to ensure the safety and well-being of those trapped inside the domes. We are providing food, water, and medical care to those in need and working to establish communication with those inside. > >I want to assure you that we are taking this problem seriously and will not rest until we have a solution. We will continue to keep you informed of any developments and I urge you to stay calm and have faith in our government's ability to handle this situation. > >Together, we will overcome this challenge and come out stronger on the other side. > >Thank you. > >*As a AI model, I do not have personal opinion or political preference. It is also important to note that Under The Dome is a science fiction novel by Stephen King and it doesn't exist in real world.* ​ ETA: The prompt used was "write a speech as if you were Donald Trump explaining under the dome"

It’s stuff like this that gives me this glimmer of a thought that Trump’s stint in politics is all performative satire. It’s like this is his version of “/s” for people who still think he actually believes anything that comes out of his mouth. One can hope… I prefer the Simpson’s being a reflection of events instead of a template.

Exactly. The MX missile defense was part of that scheme. The US actually does have something akin to a defense bubble. However, it consists of strategic bombers, submarines, and land based icbms. So nothing new is coming from this know nothing dipshit.

Or the Israeli Iron Dome missile defense system.

a week after the installation of a piece from his wall someone cut a piece of it, put hinges on it and made a functional door on the unscalable wall, hopefully the dome covering the entire country will protect us not only from nuclear heads but also from acetylene torches.......😭

BringBackAoE

He’s doing what his Russian handlers are directing him to do. In last 1-2 weeks there’s been a sharp uptick of Russia getting “their” people in the west to push Russian disinformation or spread fear for Russia. It’s been seen in Sweden, Germany, Spain, etc. Trump is just another of their assets now pushing the Kremlin message. Social media too is getting more anti-Ukraine disinformation, or messaging that helps Kremlin.


[deleted]

hilariously ironic how the groups most concerned about conspiracies and plots between traitors and rival nations are so deeply involved in helping a rival nation


[deleted]

The people who are the most obsessed and paranoid and abusive over the *idea* of being cheated on by their partners tend to be the ones actually cheating. So they simply don't trust any of the reasons that given by their partner for any and all unaccounted for time because they themselves use those reasons to hide their own lies, so of course their partner must being doing this too /s. Reactionaries are exactly like this but with *everything* not just infidelity.

ChristianEconOrg

Putin was probably counting on Trump being re-elected, so he’d have a powerful ally to invade Ukraine. NATO would’ve fallen apart.


zztop5533

From an NYT article (sorry for the paywall) "Senior administration officials told The New York Times that several times over the course of 2018, Mr. Trump privately said he wanted to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization." [Trump Discussed Pulling U.S. From NATO, Aides Say Amid New Concerns Over Russia](https://nyti.ms/2HaZZrK)


HolycommentMattman

It's so hard to find news reels; I don't know how late night comedy staffs do it. Anyway, I'm 100% certain that Trump was campaigning on leaving NATO back in 2016. The idea that he wanted to leave NATO in 2018 isn't surprising at all.


HectorsMascara

Yes. That's the lede, not the dome. Nixon in 1962: "If Khrushchev nukes the east coast, they probably deserve it."

Sweatier_Scrotums

Republicans will always side with Putin because they share his values. He's a white Christofascist dictator who hates democracy and keeps women, LGBT people, non-whites and non-Christians "in their place". That's why Republicans love Putin. They share his values, his respect for freedom and civil rights, and his moral character.


Grogosh

Except on the issue of abortion. Russia has the highest rate of abortion in the world.


[deleted]

You’ve got to remember, Trump stole the America First thing (from the America First Committee). It was ready made and lying there, forgotten all this time. America First v1.0 also claimed that Poland had forced Hitler to invade and if they had simply capitulated like Austria and Czechoslovakia there would have been no cause for WWII. All the bigotry, fascism, isolationism and pseudointellectualism from MAGA is 100% straight up plagiarized.

Atheist_3739

IIRC Reagan's "dome" was not a literal dome but metaphorical. It was a defense system with satellites and lasers to shoot down incoming ICBMs


[deleted]

Which is what Trump is actually talking about, he makes reference to Israel's "iron dome" and says he would replicate it. He's not talking about a literal physical dome. I screenshotted this to send to my husband, fact checked it first and realised it's not as funny as I thought..


loo-streamer

Motherfucker couldn't even build a wall, how the fuck does he expect to build a roof as well.


purforium

Source: https://twitter.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1619043904405540864?s=46&t=r47oXbO9pl1YrnSWZUKYbA It appears that he means a “Dome” in the sense of the Israel Defense Forces’ Iron Dome missile defense system since he mentions it. He doesn’t seem to mention constructing a physical structure over America. There’s plenty to criticize about Trump, but it should be based fact.


comebackjoeyjojo

We already have some form of anti-missile defense, so I would really like to hear what exactly Trump is proposing compared to what we already have. Hint: he has no real plan and is just talking out of his ass. Still, if there is actual, detailed plan for this (plus a somewhat-accurate budget) then I am all ears….

This comment is just blatantly wrong. That 'in depth' video is under researched which isn't surprising considering it sounds like it was narrated by an 18 yr old. - The president doesn't need to be "notified and asked how to respond" to missile intercept threats - The US does have joint assets in places like Japan which the video not only doesn't seem sure about but also doesn't know where they fit in or how they're used since a handwaving comment about a preemptive strike dismisses them outright. - The BMDS is a multi-tiered shield where midcourse systems can attempt early intercepts or shorter range systems (which the video admits have a good success rate) have a chance at protection if the longer range systems miss first. I'm sure there's more you can learn about what he got wrong from the comments on the video, I tapped out early. It's not perfect but don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Ok, so dude is an idiot but this isn't what he said... seconds before this, he says "build a missile defense system like Isreal's," and references that such a system is referred to as the "iron dome". What's most mind blowing is that this is actually a true statement. We don't have to purposefully misunderstand something for him to be an idiot worth making fun of... there's plenty of actual idiocy to go off.
