I think in [oldish] English that would be a faggot, I dont know that we need to use that language (and all of it’s modern history) to describe the current US leadership. There are better terms like ‘fascist’ and hatemonger.
They were referencing fascist, not f@ggot. Both refer to a bundle of sticks.
But now that it’s been brought up, and because I’m a little stoned and I’m looking for an excuse, I will share one of my favorite stories (that I sadly cannot remember the origin of, but possibly the Mahabharata)
A queen has 5 sons, and wants to teach them to rule together, to keep peace in the kingdom. She hands each son a stick, and tells them to break it. All the sticks break easily. Then she gathers 5 sticks and has each son attempt to break this bundle (f@ggot). Each son attempts and fails, before handing it to the next. When the last one fails, the queen tells her sons,
“Alone, each stick is weak and can be broken. But together, a f@ggot is unbreakable”
And all that is to explain why my next tattoo is just gonna be a tramp stamp of the words “unbreakable f@ggot” in fancy cursive on my lower back

The term fascist was invented in Italy as a reference to the fasces, an executioner’s axe in a bundle of rods.
I find it very funny that both words come from the same root.
