    We don't. If you're an actual liberal, i.e. someone who values individual rights and liberties. Leftists are not liberals.

    Usually it's the conservatives who hate fun: drugs/sex prohibition, authoritarian policing, etc.

    I agree. Having grown up in the 80's I find the irony to be quite mind boggling that now the democrat party is the socially conservative party...

    the liberals today are the religious right of the 80s and 90s. Honestly I think whoever is in real power is just using either side to reach their own ends of mass control. I guess the religious right eventually petered out and became more centrist so they just moved to the morality police in the left realizing they are MUCH more fanatical and easily controlled. No matter what, if either side really "won" we'd be in the same situation.
