During her acceptance speech, Hillary Clinton said “we are stronger together”.
Yes, much like a flash mob looting a liquor store.

Or the smell of hippies.
Of course saying “Me are stronger together” wouldn’t make sense now would it?
The legend, Ms. Rod’em, is that individual rods are “stronger together,” too.

Fasces (derivative: fascism)
The word fasces means “bundle” and refers to the fact that it is a bundle of rods, which surrounded an ax in the middle. In ancient Rome, the lictors carried fasces before consul, praetors and dictators, i.e., magistrates that held imperium (which means that they had the right to command and interpret the flight of the birds). Other people escorted by lictors with fasces were Vestal Virgins, governors, and the commanders of legions.

… Not the common people, note.
Historians describe the symbolism as this: it is a visual demonstration that, individually, reeds and twigs are weak, but once bound together can bear a deadly axe. “Stronger together,” you know.
