They are heavily propagandized by decades of fear mongering that the Democrats are radical leftists. I've seen the same thing in people who grew up in Soviet countries. Any hint of leftism is a red flag to them and plays into the propaganda the right wing puts out. No amount of reasoning about capitalism and universal public goods co-existing in other countries gets through to them.
