The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

Years before this ruling, that was the defense trotted out by the Calm Down types: they didn’t do it! Too many people said no, I won’t commit crimes for you, Trump. They fail to realize there were multiple who were willing! If he’s reelected how many Jeff Clark’s do you wanna risk him appointing

Obviously, I'd love to see some more rigorous focus group and other testing of this idea.
But that the Biden campaign is leaning so heavily on messaging about Project 2025 suggests they've done this research internally and my theory has some juice.

One more reason to read — and share: I put this into the "news you can use" category.
I know it can be hard to persuade fence-sitters that Trump is as dangerous as he is. But, my preliminary research suggests Project 2025 may be the kind of thing that breaks through.

"The MAGA goal with bad guy posturing is twofold: First, get the juices flowing in their base.
"Second, cause those progressives who are paying attention to panic.

Why read past headlines: If you wonder why Trump and his cronies say terrible things out loud that should turn off swing voters, this article explains it.
But it's a high-risk/high-reward fascist strategy. With Project 2025, it may be backfiring.

Project 2025 was from the Chris Rufo school of fascist communications, where you discuss your evil schemes out loud, confident the "normies" are not paying enough attention to notice.
But now it seems less politically engaged people are taking notice.
