Being loyal to a nation is not the same as being loyal to a government. As a government deviates from the nation to which you are loyal, then you should have no guilt over discarding your loyalty to the government. We have a government that has spent decades pushing against the nation to which most of us would be loyal. Embracing a government that does evil and rejects the principles and the people that make up a nation is treason. Our nation is occupied by a hostile power.
