Exactly.
Patriotism is used by the Tories and the Republicans in almost every political speech.
It is used by the right wing media and tabloid press during elections which was perfectly illustrated during the Brexit vote.
Words like, patriotic and sovereignty, with phrases like, “we want our country back” and “we don’t want to be run by Brussels.”
Why do the right wing always cling to the flag and patriotism during an election?
