[OSList] Open Space wherever, however, whenever, with whomever as often as you can

[Daniel Mezick via OSList]

Wait. Is Donald Trump invited? His ideas?














Are those who have thus far repressed similar thoughts and feelings as 
expressed by Trump...are they also invited?












Because: if he is not, if they are not, if those ideas are not, then: 
the space that is purportedly open is in fact closed.











VERY closed.













Perhaps this dynamic is what causing Trump's various expressions to 
resonate? Perhaps this dynamic is in fact energizing Trump's campaign?

Repression. It is similar to suppression in that a thought or feeling or 
emotion is not expressed -- but in repression, we deny that the element 
even exists.
