nationalist sentiment
Love of homeland
Nationalist sentiment is feeling of loyalty, pride, or devotion toward one's nation—often emphasizing its distinctiveness, superiority, or interests over those of other countries.
The phrase typically appears in political and journalistic contexts: Nationalist sentiment surged after the border incident.
It can describe anything from benign patriotic feeling to xenophobic fervor, depending on context.
