My Political Plan for 2026
Devv
Introduction
I like to think that I have always been a politically active and ambitious individual. Politics, and individual rights have been a massive interest for me, because I believe that ideas can shape the world, and with ideas; we can bridge entries into ideologically different worlds and foster political cohesion.
While it's ironic that politics in contemporary America is often contrasted, I do believe that it's healthy for a society to have different ideas for people to believe in.
But I also believe that there are many inequities in our society that often originate from politics, and current systems established that often disparage or outright penalize everyday people.
In this blog post, I will be explaining my political ambitions for 2026, and what I can do to express my Libertarian ideas.
Conceptualization and why
I'm a Libertarian. Libertarianism is a political ideology that advocates for maximizing individual liberty and minimizing government intervention, supporting free markets, private property rights, and voluntary exchange while opposing most forms of coercion, taxation, and regulation.
A lot of its fundamental values have an emphasis on limited government control and intervention into people's private and public lives, due process, anti-government surveillance, and anti-police state control.
A lot of the values that the Libertarian Party has resonate with the values I currently hold — values such as an emphasis on individual privacy, limits on government surveillance, due process, and opposition to police corruption and police state control.
I believe that every individual in the United States has a right to their privacy. The government, or anyone else for that matter, should have no interference or control over what people believe, how people think, and — importantly — what people do. Global surveillance is the enemy of all Americans and infringes on our rights. The best way to combat this control is to always remain operationally minded and secure, to not invite surveillance into our lives, and to never relinquish our constitutional rights.
I have been a victim of police corruption, institutional elitist control, and due process violations personally — which is why I am heavily invested in advocating for Libertarian ideas.
Ideas + network + recourses
As for the ideas that I have, I want to advocate for a major emphasis on individual privacy. As mentioned before, global surveillance is a common enemy to all people in the United States. Our information is being tracked, logged, and categorized by institutions hellbent on monitoring individuals so that they have ammunition they can weaponize against them.
This is not a good thing. Global surveillance in the United States is a facet of control that elitists in our society use in order to control, categorize, and constrict people, so that their rights are limited.
The idea is to spread awareness about this, to provide legitimate and empirical examples of unlawful government and police surveillance on citizens, and to raise awareness about the tools people can use to combat this.
Tools such as no-logs VPNs and privacy-focused initiatives are resources that everyday citizens can use to ensure their rights are upheld and their information is private and inaccessible to government or police surveillance.
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
Additionally, I want to advocate for due process violations in the United States caused by incompetence in the American judicial system, police corruption, and elitist control. There are too many horrifying examples of American citizens in the United States who have their constitutional rights violated by the same systems meant to uphold them. Police corruption and incompetence in our judicial system, especially, have caused egregious stains on many Americans.
Nearly 30% of incarcerated Americans in the United States are there because of bogus charges, and have been falsely imprisoned despite insufficient evidence, fabricated police testimony, and judicial incompetence.
A notable example of this type of tragedy that I've been following would include Fate Vincent Winslow, who received a life sentence despite only committing a petty crime of marijuana possession and has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years, to even recent examples such as the incarceration of Kilmar Abrego, a man mistaken by the government for being an illegal immigrant, kidnapped by ICE, and falsely labeled as a member of the criminal terrorist organization, MS-13.
To not address examples of Americans who have had their rights violated, and to solely forget about them, is to enable corruption by the American police state and the government. The best way to combat this is by remembering these individuals and raising awareness about their stories so that they may receive posthumous justice, hold government incompetence accountable, and assist other individuals in knowing their constitutional rights so that they do not make the same mistakes themselves.
The United States Constitution was drafted by our founding fathers in part to combat government and elitist corruption. It's ironic how our current government in our contemporary society has come full circle to replicating the same corruption that the original members of Congress were fighting against when they originally drafted the Constitution.
It's important to remember, and never forget, the people in the United States who have had their rights violated, and to ensure that this cycle of corruption doesn't repeat by raising awareness about these issues to American society and ensuring that citizens know what they're up against so that they don't become victims of government elitist control.
The network I intend to use is the Libertarian Party and the local Libertarian network in Minnesota to assist me in my goal to ensure these cases of government corruption and incompetence are never forgotten, and to ensure that all individuals, regardless of political affiliation, know and uphold their constitutional rights and never capitulate them.
The resources I intend to use include social media. Social media is the bridge that connects these ideas with the world and addresses the inequities many people in our society face due to governmental surveillance and corruption. With social media, I can raise awareness about these issues to ensure that people understand and know their rights.
Particularly, I intend to use apps like TikTok, and YouTube to help raise this awareness.
Political career and support path
I still want to get into politics, and draft bills / lobby for changes in the State law that protect individual freedoms.
However, at the moment; I'm more focused on other topics, such as content creation, and raising awareness.
Eventually I plan on running for something, and connecting with the greater Libertarian political network across Minnesota.
But for now, this is what I'm planning on doing.
Budgeting.
As for budgeting, I'm not so sure on how much I want to spend on this initiative.
This is a passion project.
However, if I were to set a budget for this project, the limit that I want to set this at is at $1,000.
I wouldn't want to spend so much money on this - maybe on a decent camera for videography, but that's about it. I really don't have any idea on what else I would be budgeting on.
The value I would spend on this, would be the value of time, spent on publishing stories related to this topic.
Conclusion
All in all, this is a plan I have for spreading Libertarian awareness. Sharing stories like this is important so that the world knows about government control, and corruption - but importantly, how us ordinary people can know to fight against that corruption.
Libertarian values are values that I hold dearly, because I have experienced corruption, and elitist control first hand myself.
So these stories of other people having their rights violated resonate with me very well. And I want to ensure that I can use my voice to ensure that the legacies of people whose life were ruined by institutional corruption are never forgotten.
