passionately patriotic


Explanation:
Outra sugestão: passionately patriotic

ufanismo = s.m.(Bras.) posição dos que, vendo apenas as riquezas naturais do Brasil, procedem e raciocinam como se estas já estivessem exploradas; espécie de otimismo nacionalista. (Alusão ao livro do Conde de Afonso Celso "Por que me Ufano do meu País")
(Caldas Aulete Dicionãrio - vol. 5, p. 5153)

(...) O discurso Varguista
De acordo com Sodré (1998), o UFANISMO, otimismo em sua forma exacerbada, porta-se como mecanismo psicossocial presente na formação do povo brasileiro a partir da primeira metade do século XX.
Para entender a conjuntura na qual o UFANISMO se instalou no país é importante salientar a transição da economia rural e agrícola, que prevalecia no Brasil até meados de 1930, para a economia industrial, que já nesta época tentava dar os seus primeiros passos.(...)
