Yes, I'm a CivNat because I'm an American Liberal Revolutionary.
As I said in my other comment. A nation is defined (to me) by Stoessinger's 5 characteristics.
An Empire is not necessarily built off the rule of a single nation, nor the domination and subjugation of other nations. Almost every empire is multi-ethnic or multi-national; but it doesn't necessitate the domination of nations. An empire is a political unit that dominates other political units within or around it. Those political units do not always denote separate nations, as an empire may be held by part of a nation, while not controlled by another part. Empires can even be run by a simple ruling class aristocracy; or even a single cult.
Semantics. A political body of a nation is a people. Regardless I'm not going to get anywhere arguing with civnats. Your logic is why our nation is defunct because you think you can replace us with random strangers and it'll maintain the social cohesion. It makes no sense.
You can't assimilate a wolf into a pride of lions. You can't assimilate even more than that. And eventually when all the lions are gone and the wolves call themselves lions it still doesn't make them so.
No one ever said anything about demographic replacement. Civic Nationalists don't argue for Demographic Replacement.
And Ethno-Nationalism doesn't guarantee an embracing of values. You can't just import people just because they look like you. The only way a Civic Nation works is because there is value and philosophical homogenation.
Importing people who are antithetical to your values is antithetical to Civic Nationalism. "Multi-Culturalism" is a direct attack on Civic Nationalism.

You don't import people that look like you. You have more babies.
And those babies need to be inculcated in our values. Hence, Civic Nationalism.
