It's a central idea to a more ideal system of goverment; a representative republic; the Senate carrying out the popular will of the People. It came to be after the Roman Kingdom, and the idea persisted throughout the empire. Just because a douchenozzle that has questionable ties to even worse douchenozzles has it tattooed on himself doesn't mean it represents or belongs to them. It represents a concept worth fighting for; much like the restoration of our own Republic that good people are fighting for. It doesn't belong to "them". It belongs to the People regardless of their composition.
Along with religion, philosophy, education, medicine, money, they took our civics and rub our noses in it. None of it belongs to them, exclusively, or at all, really.
