People are using "I can't even..." as a complete phrase, instead of as a phrase that was interrupted due to confusion or frustration?

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

I dont even all the time. Sometimes its because I cant even, other times its because I just dont even.

Its a good phrase to express bewilderment, frustration, and confusion even.

It's pretty straight forward dude.

It's just shorthand for I can't even (deal with x).

It's supposed to simulate a riled up white girl trying to compose herself, but she can't bring herself to do so, including finishing her sentence.

I guess it's just meant to sound more abrupt. And for what it's worth, I've seen people use ellipsis along with it before, so your wish is kinda already granted.
