Fasc(ism) - The symbol is a bundle of sticks.
Faggots, literally.
The symbolism is that of a bundle of sticks is stronger than just one. A couple individual sticks can be broken without the entire bundle braking and failing.
Faggots. Literally.
Now ask yourself why would 2 Fasces be symbolized in the Chamber of the house where the SOTU is given.
Just a coincidence?
