It does not look like it to me. Maybe it is bias or wishful thinking, but what I see is the rulings igniting with hatred the most radical wing of the Democratic party, while giving second thoughts to many liberals of good will.
This reminds me of Fortea's History of the Angelic World. In Chapter 22, the triumph of the loyal angels over the rebellious ones is narrated. Previously, Lucifer (now Satan) had advanced with his elite warriors in an all-in gambit to commit Deicide. It is important to note that St. Michael was not a powerful Cherub or Seraphim, but a second-to-last tier angel. He and his troops hit the rebellious rearguard wielding two banners representing Jesus and Mary (or rather, the abstract archetypes of The Christ and The Theotokos).
The miracle, if it is proper to label it such, that happen in the angelic plane at that time unfolded in this way. The lieutenants of Satan's forces,- which were the most corrupt angels, almost demons by now,- went bat... guano-crazy at the sight. But among the grunts, the feeling spread that they had committed a terrible mistake. They were still in disagreement with God's plans, but many begun to think that Lucifer's war was not a solution to that problem; it was pure madness.
At that time Lucifer lost the war as foretold, not to God but to his lesser siblings. And he lost because the core of his army would not find in themselves the will to fight.
A foreigner's humble perspective.
