== Examples == In the 1880s, [[Henry Hyndman]], leader of the [[Social Democratic Federation]], turned against internationalism, and promoted a version of Socialism mixed with [[nationalism]] and [[antisemitism]],<ref name=Virdee>{{cite journal |last1=Virdee |first1=Satnam |title=Socialist antisemitism and its discontents in England, 1884–98 |journal=Patterns of Prejudice |date=8 August 2017 |volume=51 |issue=3–4 |pages=356–373 |doi=10.1080/0031322X.2017.1335029|doi-access=free }}{{open access}} (page 363)</ref> even to the point of attacking fellow Socialist [[Eleanor Marx]] in antisemitic terms, noting that she had "inherited in her nose and mouth the Jewish type from [[Karl Marx]] himself". When taking part in the breakaway group which founded the [[Socialist League (UK, 1885)|Socialist League]], Eleanor Marx wrote polemics in which she characterized Hyndman and his followers as "The Jingo Party".<ref>[[Eleanor Marx]] letter to [[Wilhelm Liebknecht]], 1 January 1885, quoted in {{cite book|first=Rachel |last=Holmes|title=Eleanor Marx - A Life|publisher= Bloomsbury |location=London|date= 2014|page= 223}}</ref> British artillery major-general [[Thomas Bland Strange]], one of the founders of the [[Canadian Army]] and one of the divisional commanders during the 1885 [[North-West Rebellion]], was an eccentric and temperamental soldier who gained the nickname "Jingo Strange" and titled his 1893 autobiography ''Gunner Jingo's Jubilee''.<ref>{{cite book|last=Strange|first= Thomas Bland|title= Gunner Jingo's Jubilee|location= London|date= 1893}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last= Macleod|first= R.C.|chapter=Thomas Bland Strange|title=Dictionary of Canadian Biography|edition= new edition with an introduction by R.C.

Stevens|U.S. minister in Hawaii]], overthrew the [[Kingdom of Hawaii|constitutional monarchy]] and declared [[Republic of Hawaii|a republic]]. Republican president [[Benjamin Harrison]] and Republicans in the U.S. Senate were frequently accused of jingoism in the Democratic press for supporting annexation.<ref>''Kansas City Times'', 14 February 1893, p. 4 editorial: "Jingoism pure and simple."</ref> [[Theodore Roosevelt]] was frequently accused of jingoism. In an article on 23 October 1895 in ''[[The New York Times]]'', Roosevelt stated, "There is much talk about 'jingoism'. If by 'jingoism' they mean a policy in pursuance of which Americans will with resolution and common sense insist upon our rights being respected by foreign powers, then we are 'jingoes'."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1895/10/24/106070065.pdf |title=For An Honest Election |work=The New York Times |date=23 October 1895 |access-date=2012-09-30}} The reference is found halfway down the article.</ref> [[Donald Trump]]'s speeches are also often described as jingoist.<ref>[https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/07/trumps-love-it-or-leave-it-jingoism-was-predictable.html Trump’s ‘Love It Or Leave It’ Jingoism Was Predictable All Along]</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jul/05/donald-trumps-july-4th-jamboree-symbolic-jingoistic-and-untraditional 'Great country!'

A cartoon by [[E. H. Shepard]] titled "The Old-Fashioned Customer" appeared on 28 March 1938 issue of ''[[Punch (magazine)|Punch]]''. Set in a record shop, [[John Bull]] asks the record seller (Prime Minister [[Neville Chamberlain]]): "I wonder if you've got a song I remember about not wanting to fight, but if we do... something, something, something ... we've got the money too?".
