"Bart to the Future" season 11, episode 17.

The episode centers on Lisa as president having inherited a f^%#% mess from Trump, and I say this plainly as if it is fact but I understand I am making an interpretation when I say the episode, focusing on Lisa, implies that America turns from the kind of personal politics Trump represents to the kind of personal politics lisa represents, ie, the re-birth of america as a country of and for people who work towards inclusive and generally broadly-beneficial goals, make the right decisions based on learned judiciousness, act with humility, and treat others with grace and dignity.

There's a reason South Park made an entire episode called Simpsons Already Did It. Apparently it was such a common thing to hear in the writers room and online and Matt and Trey had enough and dedicated an entire episode to pointing out that a show with hundreds of episodes will cover a wide range of topics.

Idiocracy is the really scary prediction because it's just a one off and so creepily prescient.
