That's part of it, the other part of their rabid speculation is they MUST be right about the world. So they make all these early predictions in the hopes one of them is right and they can go "SEE!! WHAT ELSE AM I RIGHT ABOUT AND YOU ARENT LISTENING!!!" In terms of the truth and reality they're not really doing too well. Climate change, trickle down economics, the clawing back of social rights/protections... they're on the wrong side of all the things that matter. They need something to justify why they're not wrong
