“After the fall of Russia to the godless communists in 1917, the Russian Imperial Romanov family (Nicholas II of Russia, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, and their five children: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei) were shot and bayoneted to death by Bolshevik revolutionaries in July 2018 on the orders of the Ural Regional Soviet in Yekaterinburg. Like any good communist movement the regime disposed of the previous political powers. Today in America the Donald Trump and his nationalist movement is the only force for good that stands between the Marxist left and their grasp for complete control of the country,” writes Jim “Gateway Pundit” Hoft on Wednesday in what we guess counts as “insightful” editorializing to the abysmally low standards of his readers.
And Hoft just keeps going with this shit, writing, “But just like the Romanovs in Russia – the Marxist left in America understands the entire Trump family must be ruined. This goes beyond the former president. Now they are after his three children. News broke on Wednesday morning that Donald Trump Jr must now testify this week in the New York case against the Trump family – a case where there is no victim except the Trump family and their business empire. Now they’re going after the children. And, of course, the far-left mainstream media plays this off as if it is completely normal and legitimate. It makes you wonder how the regime’s press reacted in 1918 Russia?”
Not clear why that last sentence ended in a question mark. Anyway, Czar Nicholas II was a feckless and deeply incompetent tyrant who got millions of Russian troops and civilians killed after he declared war on Germany in 1914. He also oversaw skyrocketing inflation stemming from grain shortages exacerbated by the conflict. Both are failures that you would associate more with the Gateway Pundit’s hyperbolic screeching about Biden’s policies than with Trump’s. Which is to say that this is not the comparison Hoft would want to be making were he actually aware of the history or even just read the first few paragraphs of Wikipedia’s article on the 1917 Russian revolution.
