Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery already seems to be doing the trick to some.

Haven't seen the sequel, but in the first film, the hero is the child of an illegal immigrant, the American family is shallow and ignorant (no one knows where Marta is from), one of the kids is identified as an alt-right troll and is mocked for it. Don Johnson's character seems to be a Trump supporter/sympathizer, justifying Trump's border cage policies. Not to mention, the illegal immigrant wins everything in the will and leaves the family with nothing... That could spark some BS great replacement discussion lol.

Having said that, Toni Collette's character comes across as a democrat liberal, who is only interested in virtue signalling about refugee rights, even though she clearly has no interest in Marta, has no original thoughts of her own, is a shallow influencer and is a leech on the rest of the family's finances. So it's not a black-and-white "Conservatives bad!" movie.

But this works in your favour. Because if it does annoy them, you can then counter argue that the film also opposes centralist liberals, and then it's harder for them to justify their dislike of the movie. Just adds a little trolling flavour.
