Obviously, my point wasn't that Detroit was any kind of paradise.

A lot of people complain about being despised by elites in New York or Los Angeles, but they're very quick to express contempt themselves for people who live in some other part of the country.

They have a lot of moral indignation, but they don't object to snobbery or condescension or disrespect themselves, they just want to be the ones dishing it out.

I'm not saying that's you. I don't know. There are legitimate concerns about Eastwood and his ad. Throwing "pimping for Detroit" in there just distracts from them.
