jingoists
Aggressive patriotism's loudest voices
Jingoists are aggressive nationalists who advocate for hostile foreign policy, especially military action against other countries.
The term implies blind patriotism and eagerness for war: The jingoists in Congress were pushing for intervention.
A jingoist waves the flag not in celebration but in threat.
