Maybe, but it’s like the Brexit referendum. During the run up to the vote, the rightwing government at the time swore that it wasn’t binding, instead it was advisory. But, when the opportunity to vote again when it actually became clear what the Brexit deal meant, it was dismissed. We had our vote. Even though there was no way of knowing that people actually voted for the form Brexit they actually got. Instead those that advocate for a final binding vote was castigated for being anti Democratic with vested interests and hidden agendas.
If they can do that to Brexit skeptics with all the uncertainty and doubt surrounding that decision, imagine what they can do surrounding a much more cut and dried prospect of Project 2025.
I should imagine the line will be: “you, yourself advertised what Project 2025 will be. You said if you vote us in, we’ll implement it. Now we’re in, we see that as a democratic mandate to implement it”.
