Left's Power Grab: Beto Says the Quiet Part Out Loud, Exposing a Pattern of Deceit and Rule-Breaking
This isn't isolated—it's the left's playbook, laced with lies, cheats, and media-fueled propaganda to cling to power.

August 10, 2025 - Beto O'Rourke, the perennial loser in Texas politics, just said the quiet part out loud at a Fort Worth rally, declaring "F**k the rules" while vowing Democrats will do whatever it takes to seize power. Speaking to over 200 supporters at the Ridglea Theater, he promised aggressive redistricting in blue states as retaliation against Texas Republicans and immediate amnesty for illegals once Democrats regain control. This comes amid a heated battle where Texas Democrats fled the state to block a GOP redistricting plan, denying quorum and prompting talks of arrests or ousters. O'Rourke even defied a judge's order barring his PAC from funding the absconders, sneering at Attorney General Ken Paxton's lawsuit with, "He thinks we’re going to take it right here. But he doesn’t understand – in Texas, our knees do not bend." His brazen admission reveals the left's core tactic: bend, break, and ignore rules when they stand in the way of dominance, all while crying foul about the same practices they've mastered for years, like gerrymandering their strongholds.
This isn't isolated—it's the left's playbook, laced with lies, cheats, and media-fueled propaganda to cling to power. Take Russiagate: The Clinton campaign funded a phony dossier full of fabricated dirt on Trump, which the FBI used to spy on his team via FISA warrants riddled with omissions. Media outlets like CNN and MSNBC amplified the hoax for years, peddling "collusion" narratives that collapsed under Mueller's probe, yet no accountability followed, just more smears to undermine a duly elected president. Then there's the 2020 election chaos: Leftist officials in key states unilaterally changed voting rules mid-pandemic, flooding systems with unverified mail-in ballots while courts looked the other way. Social media giants, in lockstep with legacy press, suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story—verified intel on foreign influence peddling—labeling it "Russian disinformation" to shield Joe Biden, cheating voters out of the truth.
The border crisis exemplifies their rule-bending for political gain. Biden's regime ignored immigration laws from day one, halting wall construction, ending Remain in Mexico, and allowing millions to cross illegally, all while media propagandists downplayed the invasion as "migrants seeking asylum." When Texas stepped up with barriers and enforcement, leftists sued and slandered it as "racist," propping up a narrative that hides the fentanyl deaths, crime waves, and strain on American communities. COVID mandates showed similar deceit: Governments locked down economies, forced experimental vaccines, and censored doctors questioning the orthodoxy on platforms like Facebook and YouTube, with media echoing "trust the science" to silence dissent and consolidate control.
January 6th became another propaganda machine, twisted into an "insurrection" by Pelosi's sham committee and complicit networks like ABC and NBC, who buried exculpatory evidence while hyping selective clips to jail peaceful protesters and tar Trump supporters. Meanwhile, left-wing riots in 2020—burning cities, attacking police—were dubbed "mostly peaceful" by the same outlets, exposing their double standard. Even in education, critical race theory and gender ideology are shoved into schools via bureaucratic fiat, bypassing parents and laws, with media gaslighting critics as "extremists."
O'Rourke's rant pulls back the curtain: The left's "tolerance" is a facade for raw power plays, sustained by a media echo chamber that lies to protect their agenda. From election interference to open borders, their cheats erode the rule of law we cherish. It's why we must stay vigilant, exposing their hypocrisy and fighting for an America where integrity, not deceit, prevails.
