The term is an abbreviation of "patriotic socialist". In general, there's nothing wrong with a passion for you region overlapping with a passion for the struggle of working people -- however, the term is usually used to describe a nationalist perspective that uses socialist analysis for the benefit of furthering nationalist goals. In the US specifically, it's a pejorative for people who are fine with the invasions, embargoes, drone-strikes, and military interventions abroad, but would please like some social healthcare at home.
It doesn't matter who Haz is and whatever it is he does.
To add to this they also generally don't care much for the rights of POC, women, and queer people. They'll often discredit any attack on the inherent partiarcal and white supremacist nature [and history] of the US as simply identity politics being advanced by woke liberals who want to weakened US.
Yep! Really, they're still playing the same culture-war game and from the same position they always were, just with some copy-pasted leftist vocabulary as a shoddy mask.
