Well, although arguably not as bad as mainland China under Mao's rule. Taiwan didn't have any democracy back then (before late 1980s). And interestingly, the US was OK with Kuomintang's dictatorship.

They would just have nothing to do at all with Chinese politics, they don't want to be ROC as much as they don't want to be PRC. The USA was actually on China's side about supporting Pol Pot, with Vietnam against. Things are definitely blurred in history.
