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.

Standard Republicans are fascists who are disconnected from reality, so, I agree with that part of his analysis. I don't think a dude who's slightly older than the alternative is worse, mostly because I'm not a member of the murder-suicide pact that is the modern right-wing.
