"Freedom requires constant vigilance' is an absolutely true axiom, and these voters have lost their vigilance. They will lose their freedom also.
Those who don't have anything don't care. (This is why the communist message plays well with many of the young since they have also been told that they "deserve" things without sacrifice along with the lie that "working hard won't get you anywhere"). But those who have nothing are also lied to that they will somehow get something from the communists. They will not. They will however lose the chance to ever gain something under communism (they will have their their hope taken from them).
This also plays well in urban areas with those who have a little, but have to exist under the onerous tax and regulation burden put upon them by (very ironically) the same people pushing the communism....liberal democrats who have had a monopoly death grip on the politics of their city for 5 to 6 decades.
Key to all of this is selling the "Trump is pure evil" canard.
After Trump, it will become "Vance is pure evil" or Rubio is pure evil", etc.
It is truly "[ FILLIN THE BLANK WITH CONSERVATIVE NOMINEE ] is pure evil."
Many liberal elites who are far less smart than they think they are fall for this - hook, line, and sinker.
Just look at what these people believe (link provided).

...for this nonsense.
Marxism doesn't cure the problem of the "Have Nots" however...it just makes nearly everyone a "Have Not". The "Haves" become those with government and party connections...as that becomes the only real "capital" in society.
Elevate yourself high enough in the party...and you might even get a confiscated Hamptons or Malibu home...
the PEOPLE. democratically.
The problem is that this approach would strangle progress completely, since the PEOPLE can never agree about anything.
SO... it in the interest of "social justice," a Politburo would have to make the PEOPLE's decisions for them on EVERYTHING.
AND, those who oppose would have to be re-educated.. or exiled... or worse.
So I guess you are right after all.
But not to fret... this is a highly localized trendy phenomenon that die out as fast as... say... breakdancing.

has been around for more than 100 years. karl marx died in 1900, and Russia fell to it in 1917. No country that went that direction has escaped from it yet.
Our Lady of Fatima even warned of it - predicting the fall of Russia to communism, and the spread of it from Russia throughout the world thereafter without prayer.
I know that you are not Catholic, but reading on that would be enlightening (I included a link & encourage that you read it).
But one does not need to be catholic to see communism for what it is.
It is to be feared as it is evil. It suppresses religion, freedom, opportunity, and hope.

Hillary and Bill and Nancy must be mortified.
JFK is rolling over in his grave.
This ain't your daddy's Democrat Party no more.

A Trumper already tried to kill him.
Inconvenient for the mindless “violence comes from the left” types.

"The firebug also told investigators that “he was concerned about the war in Gaza and the potential for many millions dying — his words,” according to Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo. “And he said, you know, even if I just have to take a life, I’m not crazy about having to take a life, but I will if it’s because of the millions endangered. So he viewed this as an offset to the the war in the Middle East.”
Far be it for anyone to question Wikipedia which has many contributors paid to insert their political spin....they selected one brother to quote without any supporting evidence, didn't name the source, and provided no other evidence.
In the meantime, we have the arsonists own words describing a flash point issue for liberals - the War in Gaza - as being the reason for his attempting to murder Shapiro, who is Jewish at a time when liberals were fomenting the story and openly displaying aggressive anti semitism in cities and schools across the nation.
This guy is definitely crazy, but the mantra of the Left pushed him over the edge.
Violence comes from the Left/
