I wonder how patriotism would survive a Trump presidency. It seems like, from an outsider, that there is a lot of blind patriotism going on in the States and I wonder if that would actually continue.

The more I travel, the more I realise that patriotism is an almost universal attribute. Some places just hide it better in the way they express it. The US doesn't even try ;)

We also get to see its cousin nationalism more (I think) because we're overwhelmed by the output of the media industry in the US which tends to exaggerates everything to grab your attention.
