superpatriots
Zealous national devotees
Superpatriots are people whose patriotism is excessive or extreme—those who take national loyalty beyond reasonable bounds into jingoism or blind devotion.
The term is usually disparaging, suggesting someone whose patriotic fervor crowds out critical thinking: The superpatriots wanted to ban all foreign films.
Sometimes used self-mockingly by those who embrace intense patriotism.
