Except reactionary doesn't have to be total opposites, merely in opposition. And generally to a point/topic/issue that is usually largely ignored by other positions. It's key feature is being in reaction to something else, not that it's in opposites.
Using a linguistic argument, it could be said that many democrats are reactionary not in opposition, but rather in support of Current Topic™. Be that current topic immigration, vaccination, taxation, transgenderism, etc, etc, etc. Their support isn't based on anything other than a reaction, but rather than the stereotypical reaction of opposition, the reaction is knee-jerk support.
I may be a little late in future replies
We're on the internet. Contrary to the current dominant belief/entitlement to instant gratification, the benefit of a forum is that you can take as long or as little time as you like to respond (generally within reason though. It's a bit odd if you leave months to respond).
