Is there an adjective for someone who is proud of something that is really unimpressive or otherwise doesn't warrant pride? Some examples would be being a diehard fan of a terrible sports team or claiming that an average or indistinguishable town/city/country is 'the best'.

This is similar to blind worship, but without the religious connotation/idolization element. Something between a blind worshipper and a home-teamer.

Welcome, Leon.

How about “blind faith”? Here are many synonyms of it which would also work... enter image description here

  • I also found: “naively enthusiastic”, indulgent, “soft on”, gullible, beguiled, charmed, hypnotized, mesmerized, spellbound, lured, bedazzled... – Laurent R. Dec 01 '19 at 11:52
