Forgive me if I am posting this incorrectly as it is my first post, but I just had to share this once I heard it on the way to work.
I was listening to the Chris Plante show and just had to share this to try to get this information out to go viral and maybe into the hands of Donald Trump even to use. It seems that a friend of Chris Plante sent him an email last night telling him that Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan of "Stronger Together" actually came from a Roman belief and was used by the fascist Mussolini in his campaigns.
I can't imagine if this information got out that it would help Hillary Clinton in any way. Her precious campaign slogan was once a fascist slogan as well. Do you think this is important information that could help in any way for this election? I would love to hear some other people's thoughts because the thought of this woman now scares me a bit.
That’s exactly what I’m finding after digging for a while.

TOGETHER
Welcome to FR.
“Phalanx” or “Falange” was an ancient Greek or Macedonian military formation, moving together as a unit, and the term was adopted by the Spanish Royalists during the Spanish Civil War of 1933. It also means the bundle of small articulated bones that make up the structure of the hand.
The image has become synonymous with “Fascist”, generally as a bundle of sticks bound together, which are “stronger together” than each stick would be separately, and therefore, harder to break.
Herself seems to believe there is strength in the numbers being assembled. But if the quantity is not sufficiently large, or poorly bound, then the whole bundle ends up broken anyway.
It’s still a fascist slogan.
Mussolini had more honor, and more capability, than Hillary Clinton could ever think of having. You can’t call Hillary Hitler only because she’s just not competent enough...she’s evil enough and fascist enough, it’s just that she’s not go ability whatsoever.
It’s a plausible theory; the word that fascism is derived from means “a bundle of sticks” or a “bundle of rods,” each of which is easily breakable alone, but is strong and unbreakable when bundled together. In fact, it is more than a “plausible” connection, it is the exact same idea. Funny how the media - ever alert for “dog whistles” and sinister sources in Trump’s campaign - missed this one. /s
What’s this “Stronger Together” stuff? BJ says the slogan is, “Growing Together.”
If I recall my high school Latin class correctly, the fasces, with the legend, “Senatus Populusque Romanus,” or “SPQR” were a common symbol for Roman government, sort of like “USA” and the Stars and Stripes today. The Latin phrase means, “The Senate and the Roman People.”
I was reminded of that just yesterday listening to this starting at at 1:45 mark:
Bill Whittle - Racism - Democrats and Republicans switch sides?

The old man in David Lynch’s film “The Straight Story” (highly recommended) used the same image of a bundle of sticks being strong when he convinced the pregnant runaway girl to return home, but he was talking about the strength of family, not government.
Hillary would have used the slogan “Forwards!”
Yes, it was Mussolini’s Fascists who came up with it.
No, it won’t matter. Nobody among these moron voters knows who Mussolini was.
Just the other day I was watching the NFL in London, and they asked a Cincinnati Bengal player if England was on an island. He said no.
Keep in mind that if you think that, then you don’t know there’s an English Channel. Which means you don’t know we crossed that Channel on D-Day to land at Normandy. Which means you don’t know that we saved the world from Nazi domination. Which means you don’t have a basic understanding of American heroism and valor.
Which means you are likely to extend your stupidity to kneeling during the National Anthem.
I would imagine if you closely examined every single slogan used by the Italians in the 1920s/1930s....they ALL lead back to Roman or Latin phrases.
Our history or knowledge today of Rome and the Empire....along with Latin....is seriously screwed up and lacking.
