Yeah, oppositional is the wrong word. Assaholic is the right work. Fucking assholes.

Actually, calling them assholes would be better. It admits they have agency.
It's near impossible to change minds in this crazy polarized country, but from my experience with pains in the ass (and probably everyone else's), you've a slightly better chance if you call them assholes than if you call them mindless sheep with Pavlovian oppositional tendencies.
It's also worth noting, Libertarians call people sheep all the time and are pilloried for it. It's a joke, a meme. But when progressives do it, it's fine. ("Because, well, people are stupid sheep... But only when we say they're stupid sheep... Not when the libertarians say it.") Another double standard (one of a thousand) regularly found in current politics.
