I think you incorrectly assume that patriot is only that blindly following person who is brainwashed and is always for whatever he is told or for whatever hos country does.

In my books you can be critical thinking person and still be patriot who does not blindly follow and believe what politicians are saying.

So there are brainwashed and blind patriots and critical thinking patriots.

You devalued the word "patriot" assuming that patriots can be only brainwashed ones.

Just 2 cents.
