The article says it depends on your party affiliation. democrats tend to think funding is the biggest issue. republicans are caught up in reactive culture war nonsense. basically all of American politics at the moment...

Being caught up in "reactive nonsense" is an oxymoron. By definition you're saying they're reacting to something else, so they're not the ones pushing it.

Oxymoron is two contradictory terms.

Opposite of reactive would be non-reactive maybe. Opposite of nonsense would be something making sense
