No, that's not what they're saying. They're saying that America is not a nation at all. The material basis of American "nationhood" is liberal capitalism and settler colonialism. American language, culture, and national identity did not develop organically but instead was invented to legitimise the project. The solution to these people would be to abolish America entirely
The words “at this point” seem to imply it wasn’t always like this
That's a fair point. America has always been this way since its inception
What do you think has held it together for this long?
Extreme violence, mostly.
