Is the American Dream dead?

Hunter S Thompson answered this years ago

Your question would better be phrased as "does the American government work for the middle class anymore?"

The answer is no.

That means different things to people now.

But I moved out of the city and love it. It’s still there.

The best we can do rt now is just find a like minded area and you bring jobs and opportunity and support the businesses and you will be fine.

Your grand kids won’t though Because it will eventually spill into those areas.

He said a few things apparently. Most about Richard Nixon and the rest don’t really make any sense

Yes. Especially now that we’ve lost half of MAGA who have fallen for the globalist propaganda to turn against Trump.

We deserve what we have coming.

This might be a bit overblown. Americans don’t have the attention span to focus on anything for more than a couple of days, much less for 2 years.

By next week people will have moved on to the next thing to be outraged about

Said "American Dream" was the establishment of the Middle Class by Constitutional Principle, where extraordinary motivation and work alone could vault one into relative economic affluence. With the creation of that Middle Class came a de facto 'Lower Class', of the which the Dem Party purports to serve.

In short, yeah, it's dying. The Collectivist/Marxist/Egalitarian Dems have paid off and convinced enough of the citizenry that Capitalism is selfish and immoral and should be eradicated via "fundamental change", and the Middle Class/American Dream is dying on the vine. It will be the Ruling Class that will prosper while all others are lumped into an 'Equal Class', far less affluent than their former Middle Class existence.

Of course, IMO, there are other things Spiritual) more important than affluence. But that's another argument altogether.
