Remember when losing meant you tried harder next time? Not anymore. At least not if you’re a Democrat. Used to be, when you lost a vote, you’d regroup, make your case better, and come back stronger. That’s how democracy works — or at least how it’s supposed to work. But somewhere along the way, the left decided that losing wasn’t acceptable anymore.
These days, when Democrats can’t win, they don’t just complain. They change the rules. Pack the courts. Or in Texas? They literally run away. They’ll challenge every election result they don’t like. They’ll try to add new states when they need more senators. They’ll even talk about getting rid of the Electoral College when it doesn’t go their way. But here’s where it gets really interesting — and maybe criminal.
Here’s what happened. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating Beto O’Rourke. Why? Beto’s group might have bribed Democratic lawmakers to run away. That’s right — the guy who couldn’t win governor might have paid elected officials to abandon their jobs.
From The Blaze:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation into a group organized by Beto O’Rourke for possibly providing illegal funds for Democrats who fled the state to thwart a legislative vote.
‘These jet-setting runaways have already lost public trust by abandoning our state, and Texans deserve to know if they received illegal bribes to do it.’
“I just launched an investigation into Beto O’Rourke’s radical group for unlawfully funding runaway Democrats,” wrote Paxton on social media. “Any Democrat coward breaking the law by taking a Beto Bribe will be held accountable.”
“Any Democrat coward breaking the law by taking a Beto Bribe will be held accountable,” Paxton announced. Campaign filings show Beto’s “Powered by People” group gave the most money to these runaway legislators. Let that sink in.
Following the Money
The charges? Bribery. Coercing a public servant. Abuse of office. These aren’t parking tickets — they’re serious crimes. When politicians can be bought to skip work, we’ve got a problem.
What were they running from? A vote on redistricting. Republicans could gain five House seats. So over 50 Democrats fled the state instead of doing their jobs.
Democrats on the Run
Now they face $500 daily fines. Civil arrest warrants are out. Senator John Cornyn says the FBI will help find them. You can’t make this stuff up.
And Beto? He attacks Paxton on social media while asking for more donations. The guy under investigation for bribery is calling other people corrupt. Really?
This isn’t about redistricting anymore. Ask yourself — what happens when one party decides voting is optional? When they can allegedly pay legislators to flee? When showing up becomes a choice instead of a duty?
Texas is just the start. If Democrats get away with this, watch it spread. Every state where they can’t win fair and square will see the same playbook. Is that the democracy they claim to be saving?
