I'm only hitting minute 6 here, but the premise that the global dystopian fuckjob has basically caught up with Borat-parody, despite the fact that I've seen neither film (apart from all of Da Ali G Show) seems plausible enough for my extremely precious stars

I'm gonna say it's more the times are such in the United States that even a prank character like Borat can't help but tap into the bubbling drama of the moment to produce something insightful.
