@daisymay That's your experience. Others have a different experience.
Empathy means the experience of [b]understanding[/b] another person's thoughts, feelings, and condition from his or her point of view, rather than from one's own.
I'm not sure where you're coming from in the thought that conservatives are not human except to imply that they aren't empathetic. I just cannot agree with that statement as applying to conservatives as a whole. Nor can I agree that all liberals possess this trait.
To answer your question of how can conservatives be considered human, it is by their ability to be understanding as mentioned in the above definition. This understanding does not mean they have to agree with said person.
