I know it's not actually a real thing because I'd never seen the phrase more than a month ago and it's getting thrown around as the new insult du jour but what is it supposed to mean?

      I mean, I think there is a distinction between patriotism an nationalism, and I think Rorty's very compelling description in 'Achieving Our Country' of what the leftist approach to the US and it's (very bad) legacy should be has room for what might be described as 'patriotism' if you kinda squint.
