Republicans Attack Democrats As 'Marxists' And 'Communists' To Stoke Fears

Donald Trump and other Republicans have been inaccurately labeling Democrats as "Marxists" and "communists" in an attempt to demonize them.
Experts say this rhetoric is divisive, emotionally manipulative, and could backfire in the general election.
The language is meant to associate Democrats with historic enemies of America in voters' minds.
While this messaging may resonate with Republican base voters, it is not grounded in facts and may turn off moderate voters.
Hispanic Trump supporters in Miami have compared Biden to authoritarian leaders who drove immigrants to Florida, showing how inflammatory the rhetoric has become.
