I think you have a different definition of nation. Seems like you’re conflating nation with culture or society. A nation is an area ruled by a government body.

But I’m glad you keep investing time and energy into politics with no return. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

Your understanding of the term nation is incorrect.

According to American Founder John Jay in Federalist 2, there are six elements for BEING American: shared ancestry, shared language, shared religion, similar conceptions of government and law, a shared culture, and a shared historical experience.

Sounds like America isn’t a nation

It isn't. It's a continent.

There is still a distinct American nation but it doesn't include paper or hyphenated "Americans".

What is a paper or hyphenated American?

People that don't meet the six elements of being American as stated by John Jay, and referenced earlier.
