LDS has a ton of money. They already have some kind of deal with ancestry.com and own familysearch.com.

Church of Latter Day Saints will probably buy it. They believe they can convert the dead.

No I was talking about the literal definition. I just read The Republic by Plato. He uses the word a lot to describe democracy. I didn't realize the word has become a political buzz word in modern usage.

I agree Orange man bad. I voted against him three times.

Same thing really. Demagogues are just the populists you don't like.

Ultimately I think words do matter. You need to get the base fired up if you want to win elections. Demagoguery is a necessary part of democracy.
