If a salesman misrepresents his product in any way of form, he gets called a swindler, faces potential legal consequences, and the people who bought his product are called "victims".
If a politician does this, it's just "business as usual", and his voters were supposed to do enough research to make the correct choice.
Not for people, whose political knowledge were much less. I've talked with people on Facebook, who legit thought Project 2025 was a hoax made to "trigger the libs". They only realized there were literal instruction videos and a 700 page plan (not just a few pages), once Trump returned to office.
