That was PoJo's version of the line that I wish Kama Walz would make a feature of their campaign. Americans don't think their country is failing or a third world banana republic. True patriots don't say things like that about a country that they love. Trump literally wraps himself in the flag, yet in every speech disrespects "the nation for which it stands". That is a faux patriotism. Walz points out in almost every speech how Couch insulted the Appalachia he claims he grew up in Hillbilly Elegy. Trump's Republican Party has ceded Freedom to the Democrats. They have adopted the Gloom and Doom rhetoric with which Democrats were once tarred. Now they wear the :( and we wear the :).
