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

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

        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.

                Quite literally what you are doing by calling the exact average for a US male, short, just because it’s not freakishly tall like yourself. Some self awareness may be in order.

                  I am literally 6’5". That fact is being disagreed with.

                  Furthermore, y’all are short.

      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.

    Cops and pseudoscience go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

    For more examples, see “bite mark analysis,” “911 call analysis,” “blood spatter analysis,” roadside drug testing with known false-positives, and even fingerprints (once the gold standard) have up to a 20% error rate.

    And that’s not even getting into how their methodology is exactly backwards: they have a claim that they set out to prove, but do no work to disprove what they already believe.

      I don’t know if it’s true (let me know if I’ve been taken for a ride), but I’ve been told that you can make it look like you lie on a polygraph simply by contacting your anus and slowly unclenching while answering, throwing their analysis out the window.
