    Enforcing polygraph testing will invariably make people less trusting of you. There needs to specific reasons that target specific people.

    Is polygraph test reliable ? Doesn’t it fall under pseudoscience ?

      It is not reliable at all, and yes, it is widely considered to be psuedoscience. Yes, this is a batshit insane scenario

      You can even train to beat them, so it’s definitely not a reliable method.

        And, I would assume, if anyone had done that training it would be FBI agents.

          Lol right? This seems more like a “can you beat a polygraph test” test, than a loyalty test

      It’s more of an anxiety-detector. It has no basis in fact.

      It measures things accurately but this has absolutely nothing to do with identifying if someone is telling the truth or not.

      Good thing the system already selects for people that can pass polygraphs without much issue.
      It is also junk technology.

        At this point, we’re gonna end up have two “congress”, two “supreme court”, two “president”. Two groups of people having their own definitions and interpretations of what “The Constitution” means.

      I don’t think so.

      They’re weeding out non-loyalists because the fascism is going to be ratcheted up tremendously, and for that to happen, they need people without a conscience. True believers.
