noun: a person (almost always a middle-aged straight white male from North America) who despite never actually serving in the military, enjoys buying as much tacticool gear as their paycheck can handle. Unfortunately that's usually a lot, because Mom doesn't charge for living in the basement. Cospatriots will attend pointless rallies, voice their opinions about "defending liberty" and own at least a few Grunt Style and Nine Line shirts.
"Hey Jim, want to get a beer after work?"
"Nah I can't, have a cosplatriot gig at the capitol I have to get ready for. We're protesting rights that aren't even being threatened."

noun
kuhn-fleyt-tree-uht
A conservative voter in the United States who fundamentally confuses patriotic duty with totalitarian ideology.
The word conflatriot is actually a portmanteau, fusing the words conflate and patriot, to help the world understand just what the fuck has happened to America’s conservative political faction.
While right-of-center Americans hold dear to a political doctrine that champions individual responsibility, small government and low taxes, the majority of these men and women appear to have abandoned those ideals completely.
The wholesale rejection of medical guidance during pandemic abdicates one’s responsibility for the health and wellbeing of neighbors, Somehow, President Donald Trump, and his GOP stalwarts, seem only happy to disregard legal precedent and champion a coup never before seen in America’s body politic. Also, such that conservatives ignore wearing face masks and mock social distancing guidelines, overwhelming financial obligations shouldered by local health agencies have rocketed skyward, forcing the same people’s tax burden higher than if they cared for literally any person other than one’s self.
Therefore, conservatives who believe abhorrent actions and attitudes are patriotic, but instead conflate a personal desire to rebel as if it would in any way truly resemble civic duty.
