That would be really tough because free speech and freedom of expression is such a prominent theme in 1984, and right now all the corporations and organizations with the power to censor are left wing. A scene where "Oh I told my gay bf i love him on right-wing facebook but then they banned both of us and I got sent to a reeducation camp" doesn't really ring true.

It's 2084… Big Sister watches over you, protects you, gives you directions, answers all your questions… Winston Smith is just a guy who wants to live free, make dank memes and procreate… O'Brien is a pudgy green haired androgyne… the Two Minutes Hate is directed towards George Washington Moneybags, the arch-capitalist. Practically writes itself.
But seriously, there is a sort of sequel/tribute/commentary to 1984, written by the guy who wrote a Clockwork Orange:

Having been informed that Bessie will be ejected from the care facility because he refuses to recant his beliefs, he returns to London. In need of an income and a place to live, he joins a network called The Free Britons, which aims to provide infrastructure and order during the increasing strike-related chaos sweeping Britain. Bev effectively sells his daughter as a wife to a wealthy sheik, who takes a fancy to her during a visit to the Al-Dorchester, reasoning that at least this way she will be safe and satisfied. Meanwhile, he discovers that The Free Britons is a front for an Islamic group aiming at the re-establishment of Britain as a Muslim state.

I remember seeing this eighties movie about a social experiment in a high school (based on those real life experiments) where they make one group the powerful and the others without any say. It ends up with half of them as slaves to the others. I recall the end, the sociology professor calls for a big meeting and then he drops a curtain and you see a speech by Adolf Hitler. Everyone starts to cry and the conditioning is broken as if by magic. That movie could do wonders for us with a remake and SJWs as the bad guys.
I just remembered the title, it was called The Wave.

I saw a two-part tradgedy like that a few years back. I think It was called "The Obama Administration"

They already did. It was V for Vendetta. I mentioned this a few years ago.

That was what I was meaning back in the day when the anti Trump propaganda was first circulating, and the over arching Commie propaganda made itself clear. V for Vendetta is anarchist, but against Christians. Muslims and faggots are wanted and accepted, but burn anything against it.

V for Vendetta was more anti-capitalist than anything. That's not inherently left wing. Capitalism and communism are two sides of the same coin.
That's if I'm remembering correctly, haven't seen it in quite a while

It was essentially ANTIFA personified. Faggots and Mudslimes are oppressed in a white nationalist, Christian, authoritarian, dystopia. Before all of this recent bullshit, I liked it the idea, but flipped the roles thinking it was a fun concept that would never happen. But here we are.

I have always felt that movie took great care to render a neutral totalitarian state. Yes they had the slogan Strength Through Unity, Unity Through Faith, the government run censorship, the government run camps and secret police but they also has massive corporate entities and most people in power got there through wealth generated on the markets. Even more so in the comic with its emphasis on anarchy.

Oppression of Mudslimes and faggots by Christians. They make a huge point about the main guy being Christian.
