I’ve seen a number of people trying to deny the truth, and it’s honestly sickening at this point. How bad do things have to get for people to acknowledge what I recognized on the night of November 5th? People really cannot handle reality as it is.

Nope. The liberal experiment in the US has succeeded beyond their wildest expectations. Racism and settler colonialism are alive and well, capitalists run the country, change is impossible for ordinary people to enact, and the government is slowly transitioning into the streamlined violence-only institution it was designed to be.
The Founding Fathers were monsters too, but they were monsters with decorum and a slightly larger base of support (capitalist class) than the feudalism of yesteryear (royals and the Church).
America was trash and is trash and always will be trash as long as it exists, and Americans need to mobilize against the American government, police, and army as if they were an occupying military presence, because they are a military presence occupying our public spaces.
The liberal system has proven to be too unstable for those elites to maintain it. Populism will always rear its head in this system, and that requires you either pass popular reforms, or redirect towards bigotry. Rich fascists thought this wasn’t good enough, so they decided to bring us back into feudalism.
America != U.S.
Even still, there is no good version of America as a piece of culture or ideal worth living up to. In all its forms, America is a vessel for white supremacy and settler colonialism. Even when distinguishing between the current US government and any other moment in American history, the reality is that at no point has America ever been a good project for the people it lords over.
As Americans, we need to make a clean break from the “America” brand at all levels if we ever want the rest of the world to trust us ever again. “Liberal” patriotism is still patriotism and needs to be smashed.
Pssst I think they were referring to Canada as well as Central and South America.
