I think empathy is confused with agreeing today and people don't want to be grouped in with agreeing with things they don't necessarily agree with. We need more empathy in general, you don't have to like what people believe but you need to be able to understand why they feel that way to gauge your response. 

And there-in lies a big issue, in my opinion. Modern day Republican-ism (not necessarily conservatism in general depending in which context you define it) take pride in not being empathetic. They mock the left, i.e. 'bleeding heart liberals'. As if understanding the perspectives of others is somehow something that should be looked down upon.
