I immigrated from a socialist country, English isn’t my first language, and yet I know more about America than my American best friend does. It’s disturbing that I have to tell her to appreciate what President Trump has done for the nation and love her country. I have tried so hard to red-pilled her for the past 4 years but she would just shut her eyes and refuses to see the truth. This is her effing country!

Sometimes it takes a shock to make people see. If she does not want to swallow, accept it.
The shock will come.
And perhaps, the question needs to be what about her country does she love, if at all. Maybe there is a particular reason she fled.
I met a couple of Americans in 04 in Spain, who emigrated because they were deeply disturbed about the direction of the Country under Bush. And although I could understand that from a logical perspective, when I watched Boston Legal, especially the last season, it really it home.
So, instead of pushing, perhaps you are better of kindling the friendship and let her talk the things she likes.
No I am the one that immigrated to America. My best friend who doesn’t appreciate America is American. I agree that she will be in for a rude awakening in the next few months with or without the return of president Trump. As her best friend, I only want to slowly prepare her for the realization that she has been force-fed propaganda. But I guess there is only so much I can do.
