no, not to my eyes. you said,

> at some point we decided all that was ok

> At some point we decided to elect people who would turn against us

> At some point we decided we don’t care about right and wrong,

All of those things are about no longer being in control, and they are not even necessarily true statements. Who is "we", exactly?

"we" would be every voting aged US citizen who isn't a felon. "we", yes, you, and me, allowed that to happen. You may have not wanted it, I may have not wanted it, but you, I, and every other person who didn't want it, failed to prevent it. Our inability to prevent something makes us just as guilty of our rights being taken away as those who took them, because our inaction told them it was ok. Bitching and moaning about something while still allowing it to happen isn't worth shit.
