No, people didn't vote for policy here. They voted for a person

I mean Project 2025 only had a 4% approval (and a 57% disapproval rating) but obviously that wasn't reflected in how people voted

The lies weren't new either. If it was ignorance, it was willful ignorance on the part of a majority of American voters, but I don't give them that much credit. This is who we are apparently.
