It's satire. It's effective satire because it's not all that much more extreme than the thing it's satirizing.
I don’t think that when people say “it’s a documentary” they mean that it’s literally a “documentary”, more like “this satire is so close to reality, that you can call it documentary”.

But we have a term for that and the term is "satire".
