What is patriotism? Love or devotion to ones country is the dictionary definition. How do you differentiate what the government is doing domestically and globally from your feelings about the concept of your country?

Land of the free, we no longer be. Our leadership no longer gives a rat's ass about our rights.
The word ultimately derives from Greek patriṓtēs, “fellow-countryman or lineage member.” The root of this word, in turn, means “fatherland.” One can be a patriot, nationalist, or both. Love of country does not derive from support of its governing body, but the fellowship of a collective nation of countrymen. JMHO.
Stop watching Fox News and CNN. You will eventually regain the abilty to process logic and think for yourself.
Hot take. It's a word that sounds noble, but ultimately just means you're a statist.
My loyalty lies with my friends, family, and God.

A term that is used to invoke emotion for a particular cause that may or may not be in the best interest of the Country. i.e “The Patriot Act” which so named to imply if you disagree with it you are not a patriot when in fact someone that opposed it is the real patriot as the Act denies rights and imposes more governmental tyranny.
It was your tag line that got me thinking on this. The number of countrymen with which I care to share fellowship with is declining.
