I mean I could see grand theft auto bashing a character that is a Trump parody or Biden parody but if it's comedy then idgaf about that either. At the end of the day though if some piece of media looks like it's pushing a narrative I don't like I just ignore it. Like the show black lightning got too political for me (had some other gripes too) so I just stopped watching. I didn't go online and bitch. Show was obviously made with a black audience in mind.
