What do you think is wrong with this statement? Not saying I agree or disagree with it, but curious about your interpretation.

The wrongness of this statement should be self-evident.

Not big on self-evidence;I want a reason. Maybe it's an uncomfortable truth that points to something questionable about patriotism!

One can be patriotic in the sense of broadly appreciating the nation's institutions/culture without loving the government.

I'm an "Americanist" -- or patriotic -- in the sense of revering certain aspects of American public life, but not the govt.
