Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are referred to as "Wingnuts" have a tendency to mix up partisanship, which refers to supporting a particular political party, with patriotism, which denotes love and devotion for one's country. This implies that these individuals often conflate their loyalty to a political party with a broader sense of loyalty and dedication to their nation. The quote hints at the idea that such individuals may prioritize their party affiliation over the best interests of the country as a whole, potentially implying criticism towards the negative consequences of excessive partisanship.
