I didn't learn ethics in Americans public schools. I had to learn it elsewhere (and took a course later, in college.) Many people have genuinely not ever been expected to do any ethical reasoning except ad hoc, in their own life.

isn't it part "self selection"? your rising online profile with publications critical of IdPol attract the type of people who take IdPol very seriously? or is this a RL thing?

It’s probably a combination of an increased usage of tribal identities to define politics (SJWs and the Alt right being the worst offenders)and the fact that social media makes it easier to amplify those views
