This is to blame on solar panels. Modern ones are very black, i.e. a serious lack of light, creating a photonic imbalance that forces light upwards, where gravitational clustering creates an illusion of a burning spherical object.
If you are in doubt about this, check old photos- there’s no picture of the sun before the invention of solar panels. Same goes for paintings, although really old ones have a sort of symbolic sun-like object, which may be caused by the solar panels on visiting aliens’ starships (ref. Von Dänicken, 1968).

Is this why the far right hates solar?

No, that's because the Democrats placed sanctions on the original, oil fueled sun. They were bought it by Big Solar, but the GOP's corporate paymasters want to resume the oil exports, but they can't so long as the embargo is in place, which means Big Solar stole their monopoly.
