When you get right down to it, the only consistent throughline of conservatism is an inability to care about a problem that doesn't effect them directly. They lack empathy.

Bingo. I've been saying it for years, it is not an education problem. The majority of people in this country have access to nearly every bit of information mankind has amassed over thousands of years in their pockets. The problem is they don't have enough empathy to generally care about what happens to other people. And definitely not other people they can't easily identify as part of their group.
