As far as "is it happening" look around. The entire crux of the progressive movement is a full frontal assault of traditional values and ideals.
We the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Except for the Democrat's / "liberals" / Progressive's / SJW's / etc are bent on rights being determined by what group you're in. Which is exclusive. And contrary to the Constitution. And contrary to MLK's Dream. But in line with Hitler's Struggle.
“If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress”
Frederick Douglas 1857.

Ah of course, anyone who disagrees with the leftists is racist and antisemitic. Got it.
So what is cultural Marxism - enlighten us wise one.

Most people in this thread have no idea what Marx had in mind for a cultural revolution in the late 19th and early 20th century... here is a hint it's called the industrial revolution and pursuit of passion for labor equality.

Marx didn't outright deny capitalism. You have to remember, his employment was communist propaganda, he was conflicted because of it which gave way to his over all ideology.
Capitalism can run rampant, hence why Marx made his manifesto, just in case. The exact same reason why the American revolution happened.
People misunderstand Marx, sure on face value its communism, but deep down it's more of a single person mindset to pursue what you love to do and not be exploited for it or put your passion on the back burner to make ends meet.

Not very concerned about those canards you inserted into your OP.
What I am concerned about is preserving our heritage/culture/identity/nation and especially Constitution. Call it whatever you like, but I oppose anything but those things. If that is "Marxism" or "cultural Marxism" then so be it. IF there is a better term, that is OK too.
The idea is all the same: a group of outsiders (with no legitimate stake in a country) attempt to subvert that country and change its ideals/culture/nationality. That is not a good thing. It is entirely unwanted and patently unlawful under Article 4 Section 4 US Constitution.
We're Americans. That transcends any arbitrary groups you mentioned earlier.

Outsiders huh - in all cases of Marxist revolution the impedes is internal.
An American, under the Constitution, is free to be a Socialist or a Communist or a Nazi (authoritarian nationalist by definition)
I'm still not hearing anyone define Cultural Marxism. But this is the closest yet.

RACISS RACISS
everyone is raciss omg all white people and right wingers or pro Trumpers are racist
I've heard this ten thousands times, I've become immune. you cannot implement communism and abolish private property rights while using social justice as your platform sorry NO
Or you don't know or define Cultural Marxism.
cul·tur·al
ˈkəlCH(ə)rəl/Submit
adjective
relating to the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a society.
from google
so from this I can easily extrapolate that cultural Marxism is relating to the ideas, customs and social behavior's of Karl Marx AKA Communist
preeettttyyyyyy sssiiimmpppllleeeeeeeeee
Yet you can't use your living document theory to rescind free speech protections or ban firearms. Both things are unconstitutional (as enumerated in the bill of rights). And since the Constitution (or its BOR) do not grant citizens any rights (it actually places additional controls on government, protecting our rights further) it is ludicrous to think you function outside that initial set of bounds (the initial condition).

I've seen what you consider "Nazi" and, frankly, I'm not going to lose any sleep over your assessment of this. Chicken Little confusing gravity for the sky falling down around him comes immediately to mind.
Another hyperdefensive ire spouter with no definition of Cultural Marxism.
It's the ideology that anything traditional or trying to conserve the traditional is the source of all of the modern world's woes and, therefore, must be attacked and replaced with some manner of "enlightened" (their word, certainly not mine) position. Whereas Marxism, at it's heart, is focused on destruction of traditional economies, risk-reward economics, and profit taking by all but the elite inner party and their allies, Cultural Marxism focuses on destruction of standing culture, total inversion of pure and unclean concepts, and rewriting the entire experience of history's victors to portray them as the enemies while the ones who our ancestors defeated (ideologically and otherwise) are portrayed as victims who should receive financial and cultural reconcilliation from us today. It is the belief that none of us are smart enough to self direct our path, save those who are blessed by the "enlightnement" masters in leftist politics. Cultural Marxism is to politics what sientology is to religion: bullsnip packaged in an ice cream wrapper which requires you either kiss the ass of the leadership or buy your way into heaven and if you do neither, you're an enemy and require further brain washing.
Cultural Marxism is the scourge of this country, bringing with it political correctness in which mere thoughts are equivalent to crimes, Words are taken to be more destructive than bombs, and refusal to play the game makes you more useful to the Marxists dead than alive.

To speak specific to "Cultural Marxism", now, I did do one piece I noted is what all the Antifa type iconoclast / historical revisionist screaming surrounding the Confederate statues, as that style iconoclasm has been done before in Lenin's Russia, Mao's China and ISIS's Middle East:
(When History Repeats) DESTROY THE OLD FOURS!
So to describe it in pure form I would assume its speaking to wiping out the existing culture, its history from the books, and installing a new one (like formatting a hard disk and putting in different brand OS over the old one and acting like the first one never existed).

I didnt actually try to define "it", nor have I ever.
Here I put the assertions of the position of the article into perspective where "Cultural Marxism" is often pointed at.
I have other terms for "it" (such as Hyper-Tribalism), and "its methods" (such as Social Group Warfare), or at least for what I tend to surmise is being described when I see the term used.
