You're saying that they should care because if Taiwan was part of China, it wouldn't be a free country anymore. I am saying that this is false because neither of the two main parties wants Taiwan to fall under the control of the PRC regime, which is what makes the mainland unfree. What the KMT wants is for Taiwan and the mainland to be reunited under an ostensibly democratic regime. This is, of course, unlikely to happen unless something changes drastically on the mainland, making it somewhat of a pointless debate as far as Taiwanese politics is concerned. Unless the PRC invades Taiwan or collapses, there isn't much of a chance for reunification. What the whiteshirts want is to refocus attention on issues that affect Taiwan in the present day.
