One thing the "alt right" did is get so many of us to see the difference between a patriot and a nationalist. They might claim the p-word, but they also claim to be pro-choice when it suits them so their definitions mean dick all. They're flags-on-clothes "MY country, not yours, right or wrong" nationalists.

But absolutely, they've fouled that word up with how often and loudly they claim it.
