> "you can love your country and hate your government"

Reminds me of Russia very much. Self-proclaimed "patriots" standard response to any critics of government is "you just hate everything Russian".

Generalized:

Self-proclaimed [X] standard response to any critics of [X] is "you just hate everything [X]".

I think it's a standard self-defense mechanism for any meme in the Dawkins sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

Slightly off-topic, but you might want to avoid using "[X]" as a general placeholder - I was momentarily thrown off, as I expected each instance of X to be the same.

Self-proclaimed Republican standard response to any critics of Republicanism is "you just hate everything Republican".

It kind of works. Perhaps I need to include parts of speech?

Self-proclaimed Feminist standard response to any critics of Feminism is "you just hate everything female".

I think the main thing is that the second placeholder must be a subset of a more general, separate third placeholder.
