Imagine trying to convince the country that they should be like a city that even Cleveland thinks it's better than. And objectively, Cleveland is better than Detroit. Exhibit A
Detroit has 1/3 the population it did in 1950, can’t sell homes for $1, and is in constant competition for the murder capital of the country. That is the same Detroit that was the richest city in the country and had the 4th largest population in 1950. Two things happened to make Detroit what it is today, white flight and democrats.

White Flight is still a distant second to Leftist economic policies. Without it, Detroit would just look like Portland.
What about unions making the American auto industry uncompetitive? The non-unionized plants in the South are fine. Leftist economic policy?
Yes.
Trade Unionism is Leftist. They definitely make things worse.
