Keep politics out of your conversation with them.
My mother used the term ‘dyed-in-the-wool Democrat’.
Don’t expect to turn a brick into a 2x4 by talking to it.
They will get the Donkey Communism that they are voting for and they will learn about what life in East Germany was like.

Many of us deal with this. What Brian said. Your kids have been indoctrinated along with the rest of the world.
The left has prevailed in the propaganda battle in all major institutions, e.g. schools, MSM, board rooms, even sports, etc. However many indoctrinated people share your values yet can be triggered by certain words and how you say things. You say those magic words and/or forcefully express them like you are on a soapbox and they will react unfavorably based on their conditioning.
You can’t fix this by talking AT them. Find common ground on certain things and values and make slight inroads over time trying to softly PERSUADE them not lecture them.
Good luck!

Agreed. Why push your children away from you?
