Bruce Springsteen said during his recent PBS special that being a true patriot is all about coming face-to-face with America’s flaws and encouraging the government to do better:
“I believe in critical patriotism. I believe that’s the definition of a patriot, you know, that you love your country so much that you are willing to look at it clearly, recognize its faults, encourage it to be a better place, and believe that you carry in your heart the country that is waiting.” https://variety.com/2026/music/news/bruce-springsteen-patriot-standing-up-to-trump-1236802109/
