    Patriotism is good. Nationalism is not the same thing.

    A Patriot takes pride in their nation, but also recognizes the areas where it can be improved.

    A Nationalist worships their country and anyone who suggests that it isn’t perfect is an enemy to be destroyed.

      Not only recognizes but fights for that improvement because we’re better than that, god dammit. We aren’t the best there is and even if we were it’s not perfect.

      The most patriotic thing an American can do is say the people they voted for aren’t doing enough.

      It just sucks both parties are against it these days
