An old comic that feels oh so relevant in this tumultuous election year.

It looks to me like the point of the comic is to draw a line between Patriotism, a basic technique for getting your fellow countrymen to help build the country better... and Nationalism, a technique for getting your fellow countrymen to hate each other and turn violent.

Followed up with a bunch of people who don't even understand the point to "Patriotism" to begin with.
