What actually makes someone a patriot? Is it loyalty to a political party… or loyalty to the country itself?

In this episode, I sit down with my cohost and special guest Willy to break down one of the most misused words in modern politics: patriot.

Some people treat patriotism like a team jersey — red vs. blue, left vs. right. But is that what loving your country really means? Or has partisanship replaced principle?

We dive into:

• The difference between patriotism and party loyalty
• Why political tribalism is tearing the country apart
• Whether criticizing government makes you less patriotic — or more
• How media narratives shape what “patriot” even means
• Why country over party isn’t just a slogan — it’s a standard

This isn’t about defending one side. It’s about defining the word correctly.

If your loyalty is to a party first and your country second… we’re asking the hard questions.
