  They’re not patriots, they’re nationalists.

  “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” — Mark Twain

      Patriotism is acknowledging the flaws of your country and showing love for your country by trying to improve things

      Nationalism is about blind loyalty to your country and thinking your country can’t do no wrong
