I despise Trump, but what part of that was racist? "Animals" is used within a derogatory term to refer to criminals. It is not a racially loaded word.

I think it is racially loaded. Especially in a Southern context.

FWIW, I'm a Southerner and didn't see a racial context in its usage.

Maybe I was unclear but if you refer to Clinton supporters in the South as animals I think that's a dog-whistle.

Shove off. You have no idea what you're talking about.

You really showed me the liberal enlightened nature of the White Southerner with that comment. I stand corrected.

As if the South had a monopoly on racism.

...that wasn't really my point. I'm just noting that in the South a Democrat today is much more likely to be black than in the rest of the US, so referring to Democrats as animals I think takes on a racial undertone there in a way it wouldn't if this had happened in Vermont.
