It depends on how you interpret the question.

Polygraphs “work” by detecting shifts in your breathing, heart rate, perspiration, and sometimes anal sphincter tension.

If you “aren’t lying,” typically these things do not change (much).

If you “are lying,” you’ll begin to sweat, your heart rate will jump, and your breathing will become more rapid.

I keep using quotes because all of this is unreliable and manipulatable.

And the anal sphincter thing? That’s because usually all it takes to “beat” a polygraph is tightening your butthole.

Edit to actually address your main question- if you were asked “Are you loyal to your country?” and you interpret that to mean “Are you loyal to The State?” and you’re not, and you say “Yes,” then it would probably pick up on your “lies.” But all you have to do is interpret the question in a way that would make you seem “honest.”

The post above yours in my feed provides a partial answer

Bro if the fuckin’ grabbing women by the pussy comment, the 30+ felonies, the insurrection, the mocking of the disabled, the comments about the underage pageant contestants, being best friends with Jeff Epstein, and generally being a fucking LOSER didn’t do it, why would him saying he has a plan do anything?

I forgot about him calling dead soldiers losers.

And the nonstop golfing.

And the theft of classified documents.

And the pissy sex party.

And trying to nuke a hurricane.

I will never stop laughing at “I hAve CONcePtS of A PlAN” said in the voice of a fucking child who got caught lying
