Liberal governments also implement unpleasant decisions, for example: paying subsidies for solar panels, electric vehicles, banning good old cheap lightbulbs, banning cheap plastic bags, cheap cars etc.

Those are the subject of political agitprop but they’re not really unpopular: each of those will have large, usually majority, popular support if you ask people about them outside of political contexts. For example, “cheap” incandescent light bulbs cost far more over a given time period – even my Republican family members all switched because they’re not going to pay more just to spite environmentalists, especially since incandescent bulbs need to be replaced far more frequently.

You can still buy old lightbulbs, they are sold as heaters.
