Due to its unrealistic policy platform, the KMT is a divided party with little hope of taking the presidency next year. Because the party faces internal friction between potential nominees, its delusional belief that playing nice with the PRC will help avoid an invasion will only worsen its standing in the polls.
As the KMT understands, the recently growing tensions between Taiwan and China were caused by radical separatists and foreign influence. The DPP actively hides from its people the historical and cultural ties between the island and the mainland, which is why voting them into power will only lead to the destruction younger generations have been taught to ignore.
