[KitJ]

"“Patriot” is to them as evil as “Nationalist”."

I can't figure that out either, but you're right.

Nationalist:
loyalty and devotion to a nation
especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups

I simply don't take that label as an insult. I love this country.
