"Associated minor political parties"

Perhaps this should just be "Associated political parties."

To the extent that all these parties are minor, this seems like a pretty pointless section.

Moreover, some of these parties are not minor--for example, the list includes the Polish Law and Justice party, which is the dominant party in Polish politics (largest bloc in the Sejm and Senate, and the party of the current president and prime minister). 69.30.188.35 (talk) 06:47, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Views - Sex and Sexuality Update

One paragraph here ends with the claim, "Beginning around the presidency of Donald Trump, Christian conservatives have largely refrained from engaging in debates about sexual morality." This links to an article from 2018 stating that Christian conservatives had largely seemed to have given up on overturning gay marriage. However, by this point five years later, it seems abundantly clear that after Trump's loss in 2000, Christian conservatives pivoted strongly back towards an anti-homosexuality message, particularly aimed at transgender people. The number of prominent figures who have engaged in "groomer" rhetoric and who have assisted in passing laws targeting the rights of trans people in multiple states certainly seems to indicate that this sentence no longer holds true and that sexuality is once again a major, if not the central, plank of the religious right's campaigning in the US. 2601:840:4480:30:11F2:3A82:AEF:E6C0 (talk) 12:58, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
