If Project 2025 is so easy to pull off, why didn't Republicans do it back in 2017, or under any previous Rep. president for that matter? (hexbear.net)

Every election the rhetoric must be increased to illicit the same level of fervor from the base.

Kinda like the concept of diminishing returns or the tendency for the rate of profit to fall over time.

I'm unsure if a federal, top down, program is actually what the whole of the Republican party cares about, but they absolutely care about engaged voters and campaign donations.
