expressed in high school terms, the three major schools of ethics are: * "you're not my dad!" (deontology) * "it's better to be a jock / cheerleader than to be lame" (virtue ethics) * "mom, I REALLLLY need a car, so I can volunteer at the soup kitchen and stuff" (utilitarianism)

well no, not in *principle*, because blue tribe is all about what’s left over when one files the serial numbers off God.

I agree with everything after the "because" however, I think that you have nailed the motivation for it, and the history of it, but if we take utilitarianism seriously ON ITS OWN terms (steelman it), its not, in theory, that
