Mainly mistaken as a "strong supporter of his/her own country", this word has now lost its meaning completely due to the ever-changing society of the United States. The word, comes from a Latin root, "pater", meaning father, and the Greek root "patēr". This word is derived from French, Greek, and Latin words.
Common Synonyms for Patriotism:
-indoctrination
-brainwashing
-false sense of pride
-nationalist
Common Antonyms for Patriotism:
-enlightened
-aware
-intelligent
-self-caring
-wise
-apprehensive
Basically defined in today's terms, a patriot is an individual, commonly witnessed in the United States, who has strong belief in his/her government, and will blindly oblige to what the government orders him or her to do. Patriots are often seen associated with firearms, whether it be on social media or in open-carry states like Texas. Not knowing that they are already oppressed and losing freedom fast, they "preach" their second amendment, which will soon be gone if no further action is taken to preserve the right. Common misconceptions are that patriots are very closely associated with red-necks and hill-billies. Although this may be true in most cases, patriots exist everywhere. Patriots are more-often-than-not, obligated to join the military for bragging rights.

Describes actions of one who is willing to self sacrifice for the genuine good of ones country. Sometimes mistakenly described as those with blind loyalty and unwilling to question authority.
The amount of flags on a front lawn does not determine how patriotic a person is. A healthy mistrust of government is truly patriotic.
