In 2017 the traffic signs here in Finland got some new, more abstract designs because of a new coating that apparently caused problems when the old designs were looked at from certain angles, as well as to make them more clearly identifiable from further away. Our shittiest reactionary party is still complaining about how this is "wasting money to make the signs gender-neutral".
They talk about that shit so much. I even saw a big election ad this year saying "we care about the real problems, not about making the signs gender-neutral" (apparently completely unaware that they are the only ones still talking about that). They are currently the most popular party and are somewhat likely to lead the next government.

This is a big thing in Sweden too, the SocDems have essentially been on a decades long campaign of slow betrayal since the USSR fell, the reactionary party outflanks them to the right, the center right parties already have most of the "moderate" voters and the only party on the SocDems left is the literally entirely useless Left Party that still get called Stalinists despite basically only saying "we eventually would like to have no private property".
