What I never see covered is how Project 2025 is built off of the Mandate for Leadership published in 1981, which was associated with Ronald Reagan. There was also one published in 2015 when Trump ran for the first time. Project 2025 is basically an updated version of the 1981 and 2015 publications. Granted, it's atrocious, but it's all been referenced in some fashion before. This makes the intense focus on Project 2025 seem a bit odd, especially when I don't remember it being discussed at all in 2015.
