It is *black-and-white thinking* and life's decisions are never that clear cut or that simplistic. People who think that way are self-righteous and ignorant and they are developmentally stuck. Avoid them like you would avoid a toxic substance.

I believe that would be the fallacy of exclusivity, which claims that there are only two mutually exclusive options for a given question. Which very rarely is true. However, in this case, what is the point in being in America if you don't love it? Even if you don't like the leadership, that shouldn't take away from your love for your country.

Oh, hey! A person can live the country, but not agree with the policies of the govenment, or the media, or anything else.
But, the point of "America: love it or leave it" is you should, as they say nowadays, be a team player. If you want to be on the other side, join the other side; don't pretend to be on one side but root for the other side.
So, what else is news? No matter what the media reports, the world has always been for "team players"; they just called it by different names before.

It is a fallacy called "false dillema." It is called such because you are wrongly asserting that only to actions are available: love or leave, when more may be possible. You are in essence, forcing someone to choose between the two actions of YOUR choice.

The idea that if you see that America does something immoral, or unjust, you must suspend your judgment, you must stop your reasoning, and go with your emotion of love because it is YOUR country.

"Don't say nothing bad about my baby" summarized the lack of objectivity and the justification to say to someone "Go to another country, if you don't like what's happening here."
