How to use opposing in a sentence?

1. Anthony Fauci:

   We are still knee-deep in the first wave of this, rather than looking at the public health effort versus economic opening as if they were opposing forces... we should use the public health effort as a vehicle and a pathway to get to safe reopening.

   That's not true at all. In fact, in every discussion I've heard about American history and how it should be taught, people are not opposing the teaching of slavery or the teaching of the Jim Crow period of American history and lynching, and all of that is not being opposed.

3. Justice Potter Stewart:

   The state may not establish a ‘religion of secularism’ in the sense of affirmatively opposing or showing hostility to religion, thus ‘preferring those who believe in no religion over those who do believe.

4. Bernie Sanders:

   I have understood from Day 1 that our trade policies have cost us -- NAFTA, CAFTA, PNTR with China, millions of decent-paying jobs, i didn't have to think hard about opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

5. Ron DeSantis:

   No, he shouldn't have apologized. I mean, you see what happens? The mob will come after people, and they're targeting Rogan because he's threatening to upset the apple cart on some of the things that they're holding dear. And with COVID, he's just bringing opposing views. He's letting people decide.
