What Do We Think About Volodymyr Zelenskyy?

I was having a baffling conversation with two conservative relatives over the weekend, and one of them fully called him a fascist. Given that she was born in Ukraine, I wonder why she said that. Is it the conscription? Thought somebody here might have a better idea of what people outside the left are saying about Zelenskyy. Thanks guys.

EDIT FOR CONTEXT: I was explaining the Farage/Binface byelection to them, because I thought it was funny. I also mentioned that I've heard it wouldn't be too bad if Binface won, because the man behind the mask is a comedian with fairly reasonable politics.

She laughed, and said that her country elected a comedian "and look now! He turned out to be a fascist!" I didn't ask her what she meant, because I assumed she either couldn't explain where she got it from, or that I was going to start an argument during breakfast in a public place.

SPAN200 Help

I'm in a brightspace-only course, and for some reason I can't post in the discussion board? This is obviously a big problem because some of the assignments are discussion posts, and I can't contact my tutor because I can't find their email anywhere on the course. Anyone know why I might not be able to post?

A Little Bit of Buckley's Peaceful Conversations

Buckley/Vidal convention debate

I know that most of his debates didn't go like this, and that this is an example of someone who really knew how to get under his skin (Vidal) working very hard to get him to lose it. However, it is funny to watch Buckley's head explode.
