"...they've let pandora "out of the box" and when THEY get back in power they're going to REGRET this chaos they've endorsed."

One of our former governors, Gary King, caught Holy Hell from the local news media for saying in a speech, "...release a whole box of Pandoras..." Improperly using an aphorism that you don't understand can make you seem wrong in your whole argument, as it does here.

The mythical Pandora was a young girl who, in defiance of her parent's orders, opened a box containing all the evils of the world, thereby releasing them upon humanity. Pandora was never in the box, you see.

I suspect you may be right about conservatives regretting their protests now, when/if they ever regain political prominence. The ability of the Soros crowd to PAY for so-called grass roots protesters to disrupt activities is limited only by the depth of their war chests.
