I think certain political parties are more empathetic than others because they are designed that way, so people who lack empathy for one reason or another will join that party. The reason I have been a yellow dog dem my whole life. It was the (liberal) dems that helped people during the great depression, fight for the New Deal, fought segregation, fight for marriage equality and generally fight against laws that lack empathy, or sophistication, like environmental laws.

In the US, the Democratic party (because) it is the liberal party, has always been the party with the most empathy since the turn of the century. The Republican party was the liberal party during Lincolns day and it was the liberals who were the abolitionists. Liberals changed parties at the turn of the century.

People who lack empathy, are not well received in the Democratic party, same with criminals and crazy people. But the Republican party is fine with those people.
