About this listen

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.

Drop your thoughts in the comments:
👉 What does being a patriot mean to you?
👉 Can you love your country and still criticize its leaders?
