Your definition and mine of patriotism obviously are never going to agree. My definition falls in line with how 4 different dictionary definitions define.
Love of one's country and the willingness to fight and defend it.
Doesn't qualify it by saying anything about thinking a country is perfect or seeing the imperfections.
I'm done.
