Yeah, I was really hoping for a gotcha moment to use on my newsmax watching in-laws, but this doesn't cut it. 'Lizard people' is pretty clearly meant as a lazy metaphor for 'elites'.

To be honest though, I don't think it would've worked anyway. These are people that would 100% believe that literal lizards had infiltrated the government if newsmax said so. Not even lizard people, they would totally go along with the little pushup doing lizards being in control of the world.
