There is nothing surprising in all of this... Both forms of socialism of the past - in Russia and in Germany - attracted/seduced (at least in the beginning) a significant part of intelligentsia (though, not a majority). Lenin called them “useful idiots”. Hitler did not bother to call them anything...

I’m a Catholic center-right who opposes abortion and the death penalty. However, I’m still going to my brother’s home with my family for Thanksgiving and we not associating her with Marx or Hitler since he and his wife voted for Obozo. They are Catholic as well.

See this is the bs that happens when people make religious beliefs the central tenet of their political affiliation. There is a reason it is called separation of church and state (you think our forefathers had their own concerns when they drafted the Constitution).
