It's more like if the American Civil War never ended and the union government fled to Puerto Rico.
Not really, because for most Americans, Puerto Rico is not "core US". But Florida is.
Actually I'm fairly certain the other person had it right. Puerto Rico is essentially occupied and has its own native people (although even that has been replaced technically) similar to Taiwan. Taiwan is not core Chinese, it's technically core Austronesian.
It depends on the perspective. People in the US don't really care (sorry) about Puerto Rico the same way they care about Florida. They don't perceive it as a core part of themselves.
But to understand other cultures reasoning, one has to see things from their perspective.
Puerto Rico is an island
Taiwan is an island
Why are you so obsessed with making an anology with Florida?
You know what it would be like they fled to glorious Cuba. Cuba 🇨🇺 is exactly like Florida and I will not be explaining why.
