Reason: Taking into account criticism on BUR #forum_post_483874 to reduce the scope and disambiguate some ambiguous political party tags

I left off 9/11, iraq_war, jfk_assassination, syrian_civil_war, iranian_american_war, gulf_war, mexican_drug_war, russian_civil_war, spanish-american_war, russo-japanese_war, israel-hamas_war, anglo-zulu_war, korean_war, the_second_sino-japanese_war, vietnam_war, world_war_1, world_war_2, rhodesian_bush_war, war_of_1812, war-crime, school_shooting, columbine, shinzo_abe_assassination, genocide, 2008_united_states_presidential_election, 2012_united_states_presidential_election, 2020_united_states_presidential_election, & 2024_united_states_presidential_election as I figure that we should discuss a formal cutoff for what is considered political and what has passed into the realm of historical event. Personally I think anything past 25 or 30 years should be considered historical events (despite being political in nature)

I don't agree with the alias libertarian -> libertarian_party_(usa) alias, primarily because the ideology isn't at all synonymous with the specific organisation. Also, I'm much more in favour of disambiguation of anarchy, as it has no consistent use.
Other than that (and the missing close parentheses on the republican party alias), I'm in favour.

There is a typo in this alias:

create implication republican_elephant (72) -> republican_party_(usa (0)

Missing the ) at the end

create implication conservative_party_of_canada (1) -> politics (2029)
create implication communist_party_of_china (2) -> politics (2029)

These two should probably be removed, since the other political party tags aren't implicating it either.

Thanks for pointing that out, I meant to dusambiguate it, I've fixed it now

Although I maintain that political parties do fall under "inherently political", I've gone ahead and removed those for simplicity. Perhaps a conversation about implying parties to politics can occur at a later date
