Democrats are not Marxists any more than Republicans are white supremacists. That you can find a few extremists on either side of the spectrum doesn't mean that they represent the parties as a whole.In a Marxist worldview, power centers outside the State/community are to be destroyed, and Marx identified those centers. Property owners, business owners, churches/temples/mosques, family units - these were all lined up for destruction under a socialist system. The Communist Manifesto calls for the abolition of the family. By destroying these "systems" and dismantling them, they destroy capitalism. That's the overall manipulation here. In modern terms, the economic classes have been eschewed by the Left in favor of racial classifications.
Democrats are largely for the same family values and economic policies as Republicans are. They are capitalists and value their families, the families of their neighbors, and their freedom. In spite of the oft-repeated political narratives, Democrats and Republicans are the same people with the same values and their beliefs align at least 90%. Politicians and politically motivated entertainment personalities attempt to magnify our differences in order to frighten us to the polls, but Democrats are your neighbors who want to better the country for their children just like you do. They are not monsters looking to destroy the country. They are educated, and have some good ideas that have contributed to the betterment of the country.
