disagreers
Those who object
Disagreers are people who disagree—those who hold opposing views or express dissent.
The word typically appears when characterizing a group: The disagreers were dismissed as troublemakers.
It's straightforward but uncommon; most contexts prefer "critics," "dissenters," or "opponents."
