True. The right didn't make great predictions, but they'll claim the victory of "we said bad shit would follow gay marriage, and it did" even if the specifics were as wrong as can be. And that claimed victory means people who may have at one point been on the fence are now going to see "credibility" on the right and inconsistency on the left.

In politics, no one is opposed to pretending they said something different to make it seem like they knew what was happening all along, but some situations are easier to work that than others.
