a republic, on the other hand, is rule 'by the people, for the people', and involves discussion to come to common ground, rather than a focus on division and picking sides. democracy just happens to be a perfect system to set a country against itself.
but i guess that and the etymological interpretation 'rule by demons', supported by the origins of all parts of the word, could totally just be a complete coincidence.
like i said, take it as you will.
what am I saying here? simply that both words do indeed share the same root, 'deh', which meant 'to divide' in P.I.E. Take that as you will.
