One thing holds true about the political left (to which the Dem party belongs) and that is the gradual but inexorable creep to the extremist end. It's called the Overton Window. This isn't the Dems' first flirtation with communo-fascism.

In the late 19th c., the Dems became fixated on the radical laborites who would participate in the Railroad Strike and Haymarket Square bombing that killed a bunch of cops. A little later, they sought to unite the hammer of the workers with the sickle of the farmers under the leadership of the populist demagogue Wm. Jennings Bryan.

The Dems also quickly adopted the Progressive movement of RINO leader Teddy Roosevelt, and made it their own for the next century. It's under slimy racist academic, Wilson, that much of the leftist platform of the socialist progressives would be adopted. Then, let's not forget about Huey 'Kingfish' Long, who was a communist long before Boring-commie Bernie came along.

Long was responsible for normalizing FDR's radicalism. FDR harbored an unseemly lust with Mussolini's fascism before Hitler came along. After that, he became a hardcore socialist who allowed himself to fall in love with Stalin and could see no evil in the dictator.

The Dems pushed the news media to become their mouthpiece; they encouraged the radicalism of the antiwar hippies; they tacitly blessed the campus riots and the Watts riots. You're just seeing the very most benign element of the Dem party's radical and destructive side.
