They were never convinced of this! The only people who “fell for it” were the hyper-literal media fact checkers at a few big pubs. (I had forgotten yesterday that even NYT “fact checked” this during the debate.)

Guest on Megyn Kelly this week: “So, that's the thing is the funniest joke we ever pulled on the Democrats was convincing them that Project 2025 wasn't real…it's over, we won, yes, we're going to do Project 2025. And the other thing is, it's good.”

This year that apparently included every "fact checker."
Trump: “never heard of it”
Journalist: who’s to say if he’s telling the truth?

Does leave them pretty open to attack if more journalists were willing to do their ostensible jobs instead of whine.
But Democratic electeds certainly did not.
While the Democrats look to the hyper-literal fact checkers as referees.
Thus Democrat leaning voters were told it wasn’t true.
After the election, they gleefully gloat about how they deceived voters.
And they still claim to have a mandate from "the American people" - to do what Trump disavowed any connection with.
