This is precisely the problem, if I interpret your response correctly.
Just because someone doesn't oppose all ideas that someone has doesn't mean they support all ideas coming from that person.
You can support some ideas and oppose others. Blindly opposing someone on all fronts without critical consideration and some reflection on the idea itself is not very strategic or practical.
In fact, it can undermine your own opposition because you will find out very quickly that you oppose common-sense ideas and people will look at you like you're a little crazy.
