I mean, I don't think "reflexively opposing" is really a good thing, ever

in this case though "reflexively opposing" and "opposing on merit" would (as far as I know) yield the same outcome, so it's functionally the same thing.

I don't hate Trump's nominee's because I hate Trump, I hate them because they're antithetical to a working government.
