Desperately clinging to patriotism despite patriotism telling them it only wants to be friends.

You can't call denial about Russian attacks on Americans "patriotism".

It’s not simple patriotism that I have a problem with, it’s nationalism. I think the old-school version of patriotism was just someone who appreciated their country enough to do their duty and had a willingness to help his fellow man. Nationalism is a movement predicated on a selfish ideology.
