Now the left has taken THE EXACT SAME role, but with the opposing moral values.
This should teach you something. It was never about censorship being wrong, and moral grandstanding being hypocritical. It was ALWAYS about power. Leftists just wanted the cultural power that was at that point wielded by conservative, Christian, white people.

How the Left did it:
Stage 1: A healthy, happy society with strict morals and cultural norms.
Stage 2: The Left comes in and critiques the rigid traditional society, and pushes for more freedom and "tolerance". Freedom isn't a bad thing, so people agree. However the Left uses this new "freedom" to subvert morals and push their own culture. Traditional people are still allowed to exist but they are increasingly marginalized.
Stage 3: Once the Left has secured cultural power, they change the game. Freedom is now bad, and tolerance is only allowed for avowed leftists. Strict morals come back into fashion, but this time they are the polar opposite of the traditional morals in Stage 1.
Freedom was never an end goal for them, it was only a tool to be discarded once it was no longer useful.

And phrasing things as "rights".
You have a right to say "fuck" a thousand times in your song... a woman has a right to abort her child.... etc...
Timothy Leary made this observation when promoting mass LSD use as part of MKUKTRA. People generally weren't all that interested in heavy psychotropic drugs until he started telling them it was their right to use LSD.
