I wanted to like the Joker just because of this, but I thought was bad. Message of movie: "mo money for dem programs." Yes I'm able to look beyond politics of a movie, but not when it beats you over the head with moral lesson, including the joker himself in his climax speech
Still haven't seen it, but my read on the Joker is that, as an embodiment of all the general unrest floating around, it makes blue check-types nervous—so they work to condemn it with the tried-and-true lines about incels, racists, mass shooters, etc
