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.
the fasces in the house were hung during the rise of fascism in europe. we are a fascist country.
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.
i just misremembered: it's the department of "justice" that hung them ... because we are fucking fascists
