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.
