Simplified Meaning:

Some people use love for their country as a cover to hide their bad actions. Imagine someone who does many bad things, like cheating or lying. When people start to catch on and criticize them, they suddenly start talking loudly about how much they love their country. They do this to distract everyone and make it seem like they are good and honest because they are patriotic. But truly loving your country shouldn't mean turning a blind eye to wrongdoings. Instead, it should mean wanting to improve it and do the right thing. So, if someone starts shouting about their patriotism, be careful and check if they are trying to hide something wrong they have done.
