The Bolsheviks had the soldiers and sailors on their side. Also, very good planning, seizing the key transportation and communication points. Nobody supported Kerensky and he escaped early in the limo of Sheldon Whitehouse (grandfather of the senator).
The father Sheldon Whitehouse had a plantation in FL, near the town of Capps. They have always been demonrats, Sheldon the 3rd sold the place in FL (not sportsman hunter or farmer he spent his youth at the yacht clubs of Rhode Island, and polishing the silver spoon in his mouth and his stupid whine). See: Kavanaugh Senate Judiciary hearing- Whitehouse made an a@@ of himself, no surprise. And diane feinstein appeared to be threatening Murkowski (photo of it) an playing kissy face with Lindsey Graham. All of them crooks.
