Is it true that Democrat has the same root word (dem) as Demagogue?

my history teacher said they were the same thingIs it true that Democrat has the same root word (dem) as Demagogue?
Your history teacher is a lying sack of ignorant sh*t.





Yes, ';dem'; is from ';demos'; meaning ';the common people'; -- democrats believe that ultimate power should reside in the people; and they pursue policies that make life better for the common people, rather than only making life better for the extremely wealthy.





Demagogues are people who appeal to irrationality, prejudice, unwaranted fear, and hate in the common people. The words are NOT the same.





Your hisotry teacher (assuming you aren't lying) should be fired for being a demagogue, and teaching lies.Is it true that Democrat has the same root word (dem) as Demagogue?
Demos = People.





The meanings are completely different.





Electricity and elections are not the same either.





Do me a favor though. When you go back to class... tell you teacher that you posted this ';fact'; on the internet and it made you look like you were receiving a biased and substandard education.





Maybe your teacher will be a little more thoughtful about injecting their prejudices into your education.
It not sure of your etymology, but the core principles of the words are the same.
My history teacher once told me that the GOP was farther right than the Nazis and the Democratic Party was in the center.
i don't think so, dems were the first conservatives, ironically they switch with the GOP before Kennedy
it has more letters in common with democracy.
Now there's a stretch for ya.
No, shouldn't this be in words and wordplay?
