who are the effing 4%? I could see maybe 1% but less than one percent of that group would gain from it.

Well yeah, they want to eliminate the fucking national weather service. Project 2025 is a plan to stop governing and begin ruling.
If Trump doesn't want to join the next debate it should be Kamala Harris arguing point to point against Project 2025 during the time slot. I would watch that.
The other 39% view it unfavorably but don't have the spine to speak out against their own party when they know the poll results will be publicized.
At minimum 4% of USA citizens are complete monsters with hate in their hearts. It’s actually much higher, but for sure we say that 4% are awful people.
33% of a country are always Authoritarians. Those are the people who vote to end democratic rule and install dictatorships.
This sums up the recent election results in the German states Brandenburg, Thüringen and Sachsen, unfortunately.
4% is around the lizardman constant.
My current estimate is ~20-40%
7% of the 40% are the foolish following the dark triads.
We should take that 4% and put them on a remote island. We don't need to bother shipping over food, I'm sure their God will provide it for them and they'll all get to live in a blissful paradise.
