They've never had to experience the full implications of being an actual minority and what that really entails.

I've seen it in miniature. It's not going to go well, for anyone.

Funny thing - one reply I remember smug liberals like to throw around being 'Why are you so afraid of being a minority? Does that mean you treat them bad?' Bitch, I've seen how liberals treat conservative minorities in their own spaces. You'd be running up lynch mobs in a heart beat if you thought you could get away with it.
