You forgot that it would be like if Democrats had their own culture and language for centuries, had been integrated in the country by force, saw centuries of attempted cultural genocide, including at points from being forbidden from using their own names or speaking their own language in public, and even after the country becoming a democracy being forced to allow the Republican barbaric practices. Oh, and when a democratic majority tried to make the country work on a more federal model, the army rebelled, allied with the literal Nazis, committed unspeakable crimes, ruled the country with iron fist for decades, got an amnesty for all those crimes when they lost power, and the Republican's would still insist on keeping statues and place names named after them (well Democrats can easily imagine the last one, some aspects of fascism never change)
