Dystopia Quote by Justin Dobbs
““Inside the room there sat a rocker, which she sat on, and which had rocked her while she sipped the beer, because in spite of herself she had become so giddy to have so quickly relieved her heart that she allowed herself to lean backwards while in the rocker, which had made it possible for the rocker to rock her, although it was not her intention to be so rocked. Also there stood an ironing board with a still hot iron on it that was burning a yellow shift, and there was, among several items that were not as noticeable to the woman, and yet were noticeable enough to at least bear mention, a fake man. "I hope you don't mind me asking," said the woman who lived in the room, but then while in her chair she nodded off.””

And so the guys in the room said, "First Republican woman." And I said - you…” quote by Kellyanne Conway](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/319/kellyanne-conway-1450_campaigns_i-remember-we-with-donald-trump-were-sit_782841.jpg)
