Happy No-More-Kings Day tomorrow! And remember: Patriotism is helping the country you love do less wrong. Nationalism is pretending that it's *never* wrong. 🇺🇸 "Nationalism is Patriotism for Assholes." – Jon Lovett

Patriotism is devotion to your country. Nationalism is devotion to your ethnic group, which can manifest in separatist movements trying to secede from multinational countries.
