Everything wrong in the world was in that box, and also hope right at the end.. And scoffing at Ben using Pandora's Box is a way people would understand is pretty feeble.
He said people thought there was hope in the box...and there was. If we want to get real pedantic, he could have even made the metaphor stronger by having his Great Orange Hope in there, since Trump pays lip service to anti-vaxxers.

And yes, I'm scoffing at Ben for getting a basic myth wrong.

Huh, in retrospect, I'm surprised that "I enthusiastically accept my opponent's description of me as a stupid, cruel, basically worthless person, therefore confusing them to death" isn't a more common politoon format.

The Pandora's Box myth is pretty hard to get right in imagery because really, if you think about it, what the hell was Hope doing in the same box as All The Evils? Like, yeah, the world is curses because of the decision to open the box, but hoo boy is it doubly cursed for closing it just before it was finished? The entire thing lends itself to criticism a little more than, say, Prometheus.

Sometimes it isn't Hope that escapes the box but Foreboding that remains in the box.

Alternatively, Hope is the greatest of all evils. :twisted:

The Greek gods are a massive collection of petty assholes who, if they'd had their way, would have happily left humanity crawling in the mud. Really the only difference between Zeus and Trump is that Zeus at least owned up to his incest.

And the god powers I guess but whatever.

In one version it was coins to bribe the guardsmen and in one version it was radiance of light to get into the cell. iirc it was one those myths where like ten variants exist.

The point is, I could picture Trump using divine force to get women.

I tried to think of him saying "When you're a god, they let you do it", and got seized with a feeling of pure existential dread.

In Latin class in high school we talked about some of the more pervy ways Zeus grabbed some human pussy but I never heard about that one.

edit: and then the awful things Hera did to them (but never Zeus) afterwards.

That must have been some derail considering Zeus isn't the Roman one, Jupiter is.
