Project 2025 is a report from a far right think tank, the Heritage Foundation that MAGA aligned groups are all pushing into the news cycle.

There are plenty of centrist, progressive, and/or left wing (the 3 camps that make up democrats) think tanks but those are producing 3 fairly different paths/goals - compared to HF's singular message of "lets make a white christian nationalist state."

So it's easier to for them to build a critical mass of polling (1 high profile UltraCon idea vs 3 different voices out of the Democratic party). The media ultimately magnifies apparent support because extremism drives ratings/clicks and they're all dependent on popularity to make money (or keep what funding they have in the case of NPR/PBS).

Edited for clarity.

I would really appreciate it if you found the time to edit this post and expand a bit more on your general thesis here.

I couldn't really think of much to add, but I reworded it so the points aren't so jumbled together.
