David Pepper is the former chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party and the current author of a brand new book titled: Laboratories of Autocracy: A Wakeup Call From Behind The Lines. As fascist idiocracy rises in America, Democratic voters -- the Normals -- have to re-focus our energy on registering new voters and dominating elections. Or else.
