Hyperpatriotism? I don’t think that’s what is motivating most of the people with that line of thought...I for one can say it is more so a push back against tyranny and corruption, and to me that’s personal, patriotism would be just a side effect. It might be seen as affecting the collective but the whole is the sum of it’s parts.

I should clarify. To me the word hyperpatriotism defines a person who wears flag shirts, marches in 4th of July parades...and when the rubber hits the road, is anything BUT patriotic. Their personal superextraspecial important reason for NOT doing something always stops them from acting. But boy if it wasn’t for that they’d be right there though!!!
