    you can ignore the fasces on the wall of the house chamber, but i can’t. trying to pigeonhole me with your favorite boogeyman is lazy and transparent.

      I mean, you can ignore that the fasces pre-dates fascism and was originally a symbol of the authority of republics, as opposed to the authority of monarchs and aristocracies, but go off, I guess.

          You’re not even trying, are you? Either that or you buy into cheap troll farm dreck with absolute credulity. The House has used fasces since 1789, and it’s been a popular symbol in the nation’s iconography since the start.
