I really think this is the fundamental premise of the shapeshifting reptilians running our government conspiracy theory:

We've been seeing them. JD Vance is really obvious in his pivot from being anti-Trump to pro-Trump because that furthered his career. And then there's Lindsey Graham, who warned the Republican party Trump will be its ruin, and then he reconfigured himself to be Trump's most loyal supporter.

They're on both sides. John Fetterman. Graham Platner showed his true colors on the campaign trail once he was pressured to step down. Haley Stevens eventually revealed herself. Here in California, it was conspicuous how Newsom, Becerra and Porter supported the tax on billionaires, but with enough pressure from the money (which threatened their careers) they reversed their positions.

Our political class teems with these creatures who contort themselves in order to cling to power. They don't have actual positions themselves, and thus they're very easy for lobbyists to control.

Elon Musk might be one, since he's now trying to pivot to appeal to liberal congress people who will control the US budget, and might not give him no-bid contracts anymore. We need to pressure our officials to remember that he is totally a neo-nazi.

(Reptilian enthusians also point to figures like Susan Dell, or the weird moments that Dick Cheney wouldn't blink for minutes at a time. Actually the whole MAGA women phenomenon fits the trope nicely.)
