No, they knew what it was. They just didn’t think it would affect them.

The people who voted for Trump are only angry that they are being hurt. Even if they read Project 2025, they'd assume they'd be exempt and that it'd only hurt the right people.
There is no reason to engage in smug gloating to shame them into repenting or trying to gently reason with them. You shouldn't even be talking to them. You should seek to undermine them at every level possible. They need to be kneecapped.

He's doing everything he promised to do and then some. But don't worry, the outcome would have been the same regardless of who we voted for, remember?

I'd love to here from the "project 2025 isn't real." folks right about now.
Not only did they vote for this.
A lot a lot of them only voted for trump on the ballot and no downticket names or state questions.
They literally voted for specifically this.

Even if they didn’t read project 2025.
Just like covid, we had the 1/3 sane portion of the population that tried to warn the idiotic 1/3 while they refused to listen.
It’s one thing to be uninformed, it’s another to demonize (yes they did) people who are trying to help you.
And then there's the 1/3 that didn't even bother to get off the couch and participate. 
What about the idiots who chose to stay home and not vote at all. They may not have voted for it, but they weren't voting against it either, and ambivalence in the face of fascism is tacit support.
245 millions could've voted, 90 millions didnt vote, 77 millions voted for trump.
68% of people either didn't care about fascism or wanted it.
Dear americans, wtf happened. Where were you.

you're preaching to the choir.
I mean he’s a convinced felon. I do t get why anyone would any need to read anything else
A lot of Rep voters approve of Project 2025. His approval isn't that low. Approval of certain policies, like tarriffs are low, but overall approval isn't. What's scary is his most evil policies (the immigration policies) have some of the highest approval.
Maybe now (for whatever reason) republicans are more in favor of Project 2025 but during the campaign Project 2025 was quickly swept under the rug, because GOP probably knew it was so unpopular it might cost them the election.
They felt they needed the "undecided" or "centrist" vote to win, so Trump denying he didn't know what it was, was helpful. Trump never condemned it either, he just said some of it was a little extreme, IIRC. The "undecided" or "centrist" vote is very marginal.
It was also unpopular within the republican party. Even within MAGA it had only 30% support. It wasn't pushed out of the media to pull undecided or centrists. It was pushed out to not drive away the non-MAGA republicans. You can also compare the October poll to one of the first poll as it shows a clear trend where the more people found out about Project 2025 the less they liked it.
“Trump’s all talk. He’s not going to do that.”
“Oh shit. He’s doing all that stupid shit.”
Republicans supplied MAGAs with a trojan horse by being complacent to who represents their team whether they want to admit it or not.
And they’re supposed to know what the sign says? You think these people can read?
"But he promised (lied again) about not knowing a thing about it!"
Why do you even assume they can even read in the first place ?
But herp my derp, Trump claimed he knew nothing of it right before the election.
