The patriot says, " My country, may it always be right".

The nationalist says, "My country right or wrong".

Which are you?
 
"Nationalism is a political, social, and economic system characterized by the promotion of the interests of a particular nation, especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining sovereignty (self-governance) over the homeland. The political ideology of nationalism holds that a nation should govern itself, free from outside interference and is linked to the concept of self-determination. Nationalism is further oriented towards developing and maintaining a national identity based on shared, social characteristics, such as culture and language, religion and politics, and a belief in a common ancestry.[1][2] Nationalism, therefore, seeks to preserve a nation's culture, by way of pride in national achievements, and is closely linked to patriotism, which, in some cases, includes the belief that the nation should control the country's government and the means of production.[3]"

Debate would be so easy when you can make up your own definitions of words. But you can't, meaning that you are simply lazy.

"cliché
noun [ C ] US ​ /kliˈʃeɪ, klɪ-/

writing an idea or expression that has been used too often and is often considered a sign of bad writing or old-fashioned thinking:

Like, 'Mason is a Genius'.

Yep, you are lazy. The comment is a take off on John Q. Adam's famous lines.

A patriot always supports his country when in the right, opposes it what it is in the wrong.
