That's not it though. There have been attempts by some to redefine patriotism as unquestioning support of both Brexit and the governments pursuit of a deal. It's an attempt to shame political opponents.
Now it's not something that especially bothers me, it's hardly a new tactic in politics and I don't really care if people think I am patriotic or not. I just find that fact than 1andrew1 use of it suddenly does bother people when applied to Brexit supporters amusing. I think he got the reaction he was looking for.
