one takes their sense of national
pride to extreme levels as to become an unintentionally comical stereotype of what patriotism embodies and deliberately hating those that
don't share the same intensity that they have, particularly those from other countries, other races and other religions...they are identified by their over-the-top demonstrations and admirations for national symbols, like hundreds of small American flags on their front yard, attaching gigantic American flags to the back of their pick-up trucks, etc...and their ability to turn any common, everyday conversation no matter how mundane into an instant political debate...the temper on
people exhibiting this characteristic is incredibly

summer months where
heat adds on to their already enflamed attitude and news stories about Black Lives Matter or removal of confederate statues kicks it up several notches...

black protestors should be locked up for the rest of their lives.
