Mr Trump is a failed President.

The real danger with Biden is his VP choice. Let's say he picks a kook like AOC, a hard Leftist and empty-headed ideologue. Biden either falls over dead or becomes so obviously incapacitated mentally that he is succeeded by his VP. Now the US has a radical Leftist in office that makes Obama look sane. Big problem.

You Trump supporters have no moral authority to judge anyone.

Red herring argument. Where did I mention anything about either? Or, is it that your position is that anyone to the Right of AOC in political views is a racist fascist, not that I think you could support an argument for either being the case.

Not red herring. Trump is a fascist.

I won't lose a minute of sleep if Biden is elected (unlike had HRC been) but the last time we had a president who was incapable of thinking for himself and relied solely on advisors, we got into a disastrous war. Biden simply is incapable of thinking for himself now and he will only get worse with declining cognitive ability.
That said, you are correct. Trump has no interest in the opposition's agenda. Reagan did, Bush Sr. did, Clinton certainly did, Bush II did . Obama did not, although he was more diplomatic about it than Trump. Trump is the symptom and result of ongoing political discourse and I only see it getting worse.

So you still have not watched Biden's presser from 3 days ago when he answered lots of press questions at the end. I can see why you think that. You bought the meme. You are not doing basic homework. Biden spoke in complete sentences and expressed himself well. Trump can never do that.

You are not interested. You're an ideologue who thinks Trump is a good president.

Oh, no, you are very much wrong. I want to read exactly how Trump is a fascist. Words have meaning and that's how we have a dialogue. I am neither an ideologue and I think Trump, like every president, has his flaws--in his case some very serious personal ones in particular. But that said, it doesn't necessarily make him a "bad" or "evil" president or a "fascist." So, I want you to enlighten me on how Trump is a fascist.

Trump is also a failed man and a human being too!

Donald Trump and the Tragedy of Failed “Masculine” Leadership

The straightforward explanation for why the federal government has done such a poor job in response to the coronavirus crisis is that Donald Trump is simply not man enough to be president of the United States.

This notion defies conventional wisdom, which regards the bombastic real estate developer and reality TV star as a prototypical alpha male. From the moment he declared his candidacy in 2015, MAGA hat-wearing truckers and Zegna suit-wearing bankers alike cited his manhood as the Trumpian quality they most admired.

Voters—especially but not exclusively white male voters—like candidates who appear tough, and are willing to hit back when they’re attacked. Arguably the greatest source of Donald Trump’s popularity with his white male base is his reputation as a “counterpuncher,” someone who will strike back against his critics and never back down.

A popular tee-shirt seen at Trump rallies expressed it succinctly: “Finally someone with balls.”
This is all embarrassingly juvenile and superficial—but in contemporary American politics, it works. In 2016, these gender dynamics translated into Trump’s crushing margin of victory over Hillary Clinton among white men.

Then came the pandemic.

Do you know any European history? I mean, do you even know what the word means? Because I am not going to give a history lesson junior high school kids are taught.

Not really about gender. Trump never liked democracy. He is most like a stooge of Russia and a friend to world dictators.

Yes, I am well aware of European history.

By do I know what fascism means? Yes.

Fascism is a variation of Socialism in which authoritarian rule and nationalism play a role, as opposed to Communist Socialism where the difference is internationalism is substituted for nationalism. There are differences in the ways Socialism is applied in Fascism, but it is applied. Most Fascist governments practice Statist Capitalism rather than nationalizing industry and business. Statist Capitalism has the government controlling what is produced but privately held companies do the actual production.
Racism is not necessarily part of a Fascist government. Italy's and Spain's versions were not particularly racist unlike Germany's.
Fascists can get along with Communists but there will be friction over the nationalist v. internationalist differences. As proof, one can review the Italian-Soviet Union Red Black Alliance.
An introduction:

As with Communism where Marx and Engels were the progenitors, Fascism has it's founder too:

So, I assume that the history lesson you got in junior high school covered all that, or was it a whitewash of Progressive nonsense and lies that didn't give a fig about the meaning of words?
