Nah. While they had started their Red Scare nonsense earlier, there was a Southern Strategy, 55 years ago, collecting the Southern racist nuts (no, the most racist states in the country didn't magically become the least racist ... they simply started voting for a different party, whose Southern candidates were just as racist, and also voted against Civil Rights). Then they started collecting the religious nuts, about 45 years ago, like Falwell's Moral Majority. Then started integrating in some really far right economics, from Libertarian/Objectivist types, wanting full deregulation (economically, the party had become almost the complete opposite of the Teddy Roosevelt party, and his Square Deal, by the time of Reagan). But, even Reagan handed out amnesty for 3 million undocumented immigrants. MAGA morons are clearly even more racist and extreme, on that point.
While Republicans are still using the Red Scare tactics, they have become further and further removed from reality, as to what communism even is. Biden is no progressive, and even progressives aren't proposing anything that would move the US left of Denmark. The US is nowhere near the 50% unionization rate, and over 70% top tax rate, just before the mid 20th century. Republicans took things way right, and Democrats followed, "meeting them in the middle", as the middle moved further and further right. Biden is just a tiny step back to the left, nowhere near even FDR, let alone communism.
