I believe the Republicans think they are morally superior as well.
In fact, the moral questions that the Republicans gloss over are arguably more dangerous than those of the Democrats. Considering that it is the lethal and coercive powers of the state and their misuse that seems to preoccupy them, nanny socialism might be considered mild by comparison.
The ratchet effect guarantees that the advances in government power that each side accomplishes will be used to full advantage by the other side when their turn comes. Neither side seems interested in repealing the bad laws of previous administrations. The arguing goes on ad nauseum, but the progress is always in the same direction, inexorable as a rising tide.
