Too many of them truly do want to see our Republic destroyed, and our form of government replaced by a Communist slave State
That's a pretty broad accusation. What exactly constitutes a Communist Slave State? What would that look like in your day to day life?

admit they yearn for Socialism to destroy capitalism completely
There are merits to socialism - healthcare, social security, welfare... and serious problems with capitalism - wage disparity, inequality, environmental damage, volatile markets and 1% of the population owning 99% of the wealth.
I'm not saying capitalism should be abolished, or that socialism on its own is the answer. But if the merits of both are kept and the failures of both eradicated, then you may find a prosperous society that takes care of the most vulnerable is possible.

and to see our Constitution torn up and replaced by Marxist thought.
I don't know about Marxist thought - but the US constitution is not perfect.
Think about the statues being torn down all around the US right now. A standard argument against it, is that we should not judge these men by today's standards. In keeping with that line of thought, you need to look at the constitution as outdated as well.
It needs to be brought out of the 18th century.

In their mission to discredit the history of the USA and paint it as the root of all evil in our world
I would rather know an ugly truth than a beautiful lie.
All countries have to deal with the atrocities of the past. America is no different.
The lessons suck. But without them, you just remain ignorant. And that is worse.

Fortunately, there are a lot of us, and if necessary, we'll do what we have to in order to preserve our Constitution and our Nation. Whatever that may require.
If you are going to take up arms against your neighbour, you had better make sure that EVERY SINGLE THING written in the constitution is worth killing for.
The Filibuster, The inability of the states to restructure their own governments, Slave labour in prisons, Anonymous voting in congress, The Article 5 Loophole that, theoretically, can create a dictatorship.
Oh, and it's pretty much impossible to amend any of it.

They merely have a pro-America and pro-Trump bias.
You assume that the people who want Trump gone from the White House do so because they are anti-America. On the contrary. They want to save their country. Not from Republicans, but from the one man who is doing the damage.

He's a rather successful businessman who cut his teeth in the truly brutal New York construction business, learned from his mistakes, and kept getting better at that game.
Successful businessmen don't go bankrupt six times. And I disagree that Trump has ever learnt anything from his mistakes. He cannot do that, while he refuses to admit to ever making any.
As for the media in general - the environment has become so toxic, that no one knows what an actual real news story looks like anymore.
If the first instinct of anyone is to scream "FAKE NEWS!", then how will they have the faintest idea of what is actually going on in the world?
Good chat.
