flag waver
Zealous country supporter
A flag waver is someone who displays enthusiastic, often excessive patriotism or loyalty to a cause.
The term usually carries a mildly dismissive tone, suggesting the person's devotion is more about showy display than substance: The rally attracted the usual flag wavers.
It can also refer literally to someone waving a flag at parades or events.
