I guess it depends on your definitions. Modern liberalism, to me, is too deeply rooted in market capitalism to ever provide a suitable alternative to whatever havoc Trump is wreaking at any given moment.
Sure they may nominally care about social progress but as the past few decades in both British and American politics have demonstrated, it's impossible in reality to support both social and economic progress and neoliberal economics. All the pandering in the world couldn't change the fact that Hilary was not interested in any progress but that of the financial industry and her own campaign coffers. She offered no alternative to Obama's failed policies and was rightly rejected by the electorate.
Until somebody offers a real alternative to Trump and the conditions which gave us Trump, nothing will change. Bernie would have been a start, sure.
The FBI isn't interested in helping you, and if it does manage to get rid of Trump (which it won't) it will go right back to propping up crypto-fascist US hegemony and subjugating the global poor. Nor are the "rebel" Republicans who have somehow found a conscience after dedicating their careers to pillaging the most vulnerable in society. They do not deserve our support regardless of how hard they go after Trump.
