I have never heard anyone but a leftist use the expression "moral superiority".
Sure, because that would be in response to someone "claiming moral superiority" not someone using the expression, right? But at least you answered and no I don't have any actual quotes so.... unless I find one or more ( I know they exist ) you have a legitimate complaint.

Frankly, the left seems far more committed to implementing a moral agenda than the right does. All the right wants is to have an equal voice in defining morality for our society. The left wants an exclusive right to define it. Just consider abortion or gay rights, the conservatives are far more compromising on those issues than the left is. The lefties are the true moral absolutists in our society.
Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

Yeah I know... "you feel harmed" by what other people do in the privacy of thier homes. Yeah I know... we have laws about 18 year old and 17 year old. Yes we have an arbitrary line of 18 where we put the "children" and have laws to protect them. I have two questions about that: 1) How is a law defined to protect children compare with you wanting a law because you feel harmed by what the consenting adult couple 2 blocks down the street are doing in the privacy of their home? 2) Don't you think we have proof beyond a doubt that children need protection from adult predators?

It's a strange quirk of human nature. Those oh-so-nuanced persons who decry/denounce the concept of objective truth (or morality, or ..., etc) tend to be absolutists, especially when they're in a position to force or bully others to bend to their wills.

Because that is how the country was intentionally designed to work - social policies in the hands of the people at the local level.

So now we are back to not answering questions? You were the one that made that comparison and now you can't explain it? NO forget "can't" you don't even try, you purposely avoid the questions, just like the whore politicians we all complain about.
