Oh, Joy!
I second everything you said, but most especially this:
I have worked hard and paid my dues for my whole adult life, and I am furious at being called a lazy moocher because I voted Democratic.
I avoided coming here for a while because I was hurt and angry at the same time. I had no issue with anyone who expressed their views in a reasoned manner. But the name-calling and insults in my "happy place" felt deeply personal somehow. Thank you for putting it so succinctly.
