You just defined nationalism ("my country is better, fuck the others") vs. patriotism ("I love my country and will defend its values")

And if they're both rotten, well there's always a common enemy.

Yeah, the problem in the US for an example is nationalism, not patriotism. True patriots would be fuming at what's going on. It's the nationalists that cheer on.

Americans are very good at cognitive dissonance and arrogance.
