"Did we vote for this?" - yes you did. It's a "representative republic" or whatever the hell it's called, but the gist is - you vote for a guy/girl and then they "represent" you. That's what they do. Your vote got them there.
Taking into account how wildly unpopular most western politicians and their policies are with their respective publics, "democracy" as it is practiced is basically a cover for rulers to do what they want. The technical term for this is a "beard".
After all, your elected representatives approved this. If you don't like it, you can vote for the othet carefully vetted corporate imperialist muppet next time around. Until then, shut up and fall in line!
