How capable are most people of understanding the concept that you can love your country...?

Question

... even if you openly voice disapproval of the direction in which it's been heading?

Answer 1

I think normal people do understand the difference but then there is those that just don't get it and they are the loudest. Every time you say something in disagreement they'll take it personally and start making noise. Since they are the loudest they also create the impression of being many more than they actually are.
