The belief that criticising your country is always patriotic. Sadly, it's only patriotic when your criticism is correct and useful. Otherwise, you're just another hater, hiding behind the flag. Applicable to both right-wing and left-wing asshats.

Get the hatriotism mug.Example 1 - third-generation Italian enthusiastically celebrating the English national football team losing.
Example 2 - proudly being British up until Andy Murray plays tennis, and then you're English, and you've formed an emotional alliance with *insert origin of opponent*
Example 3 - when arguing, we can't give foreign aid when we have people on food banks, having only just voted for austerity and cuts in welfare

Get the hatriotic mug.Americans who claim to be patriotic but actually hate the federal government, and would jump at any chance to sabotage the federal government or overthrow it and replace it with an authoritarian regime. They express love for the USA in abstract terms, often romanticizing the revolutionary war as the high-water mark in US history but hate everything about the federal government, state governments, and local governments. They claim to love "liberty" and "freedom" but at the same time seem to cherish the demanding discipline of the military and believe that placing a great deal of power in the hands of a king-like president would somehow result in more "freedom". They seem to almost worship guns and while they know little or nothing about the Constitution, they treat the second amendment as if it had been handed down by God almighty.
Trump's hatriots, including the proud boys and the oath keepers, love playing dress-up as soldiers and threatening to overthrow the federal government. They "love the USA" but hate the very thing that makes it the USA, i.e. the federal government.
