patriotic fervor
Flag-waving passion
Patriotic fervor is intense, passionate devotion to one's country—nationalism charged with emotion.
The phrase often describes collective enthusiasm during wartime or national crisis: Patriotic fervor swept the nation after the attack.
It can be admiring or critical, depending on whether the speaker views such passion as noble unity or dangerous jingoism.
