Well yes, but that's in the real world. I was speaking of the world wherein morality is invented (present day America).

I posit that the two are one and the same. Morality is an invented construct.
The thing is, it is not static. It evolves as society evolves.
Example...........hopefully I don't stray too far afield here into verboten territory, if I do, my apologies and mods feel free to yank the leash.....
50 years ago would a gay man stand in his town square and admit to being gay? Today would a homophobe stand in his town square and admit to being a homophobe? (possibly in some locales, but not in most I would say)
Societal evolution and the evolution of morality.
As to "those in power". That is also not static. At least in functional societies.
