The key to all of Bessner's downplaying is that he once co-authored a column that said that admitting Trumpism is fascism would mean that the left should ally itself groups outside the left in order to stop it.
And that, apparently, would be a step too far for him.
the fucking frustrating thing about this is we're only 4 fucking years from the opportunity to have a real progressive in 2028 but that definitely 100% won't happen if trump wins, there won't be an election in 2028.
