Disgusting movie that pokes fun at Liberals, Millennials and Gen Z

I'm one to give a movie a decent chance and watch through, but this one was so awful I couldn't even get partway through it. From the get-go it's very obviously poking fun at Millennials, Gen-Z and anyone with a more progressive mindset. That'd be fine if it was at least halfway thoughtful in it's approach but like most right-wing type humor it is heavy-handed and dumb with a lot of shock value mixed in. As an example they distill safe spaces into a drug, and those execs eagerly jizz over disabled people in what's clearly meant to be a 'over the top 'Liberal' party'.

If you're a big fan of Trump or like right-wing humor Babylon Bee style, this is probably your movie. If you're literally anyone else it's a revolting watch that's a waste of time.
