    Did you even read the god-damn comment?

    The concept of the US as a country is not very old

    it’s true that there has been a country called “France” for hundreds of years longer than the US

    Yes, the notion of France as a country is older than the US. But the French Republic is not. The institutions change, the country endures. The US is a young country but its institutions are surprisingly old. That’s the whole fucking point.
