american dream was lost a while back. now its a matter of losing american sanity.
The American dream has changed so many times through the generations I'm not sure there's any cohesive vision. I remember it used to be owning a house, having kids, and being self sufficient. Nowadays I don't think young people even want kids- having time and money to have fun seems like the dream, which is sort of... bleak? That should be the bare minimum, but the older generations failed them.
I'm still amazed at the catastrophic damage one single generation can do to a country, voting for terrible policies over and over again (Reagan, Bush, Trump). Refusing to admit when things are not working, turning instead to a propaganda apparatus, preferring to detach from reality. And they're not even done (dead) yet...
Their hold is so strong we elected a guy with dementia over a healthy qualified person. At this point only death canl release their grasp
If the kids in middle school are any indication the American dream is now to become a popular streamer
