The New York Times' attack on 'the American dream' was aimed at minorities

There are a lot of bad-faith actors in our political system, and their bad-faith stories about their opponents make it impossible to understand other points of view. Politicians, activist journalists, and pundits have all helped make up stories about what the average American wants that support their own opinions instead of telling the truth.

Take a look at "How a Historic Phrase Became a Partisan Battleground," which was on the front page of The New York Times on Sunday. The story asked several Republicans, especially those of color, about "the American dream" and looked at why it seems to be a catch-all phrase for GOP policy.

In the article, Christina Greer, a professor of political science at Fordham University, said, "The Republican Party is using it as a dog whistle." She told the Times that the way Republicans see American progress is that it depends on keeping out people who might take it from them.

Dog whistles are meant to be sounds that only dogs can hear, but Democrats always seem to be able to hear them. Because they aren't acting in good faith, and their interpretation will always lead them to the worst possibility instead of the most likely one.

As the liberal media learn that Republicans, especially Republican immigrants, fully embrace the American dream, they will never take such rhetoric at face value.

The Times gives story after story of Republican politicians and immigrants explaining why they believe in the American dream. However, the paper insists that there are hidden meanings based on hatred and wanting to keep others out so they can "conserve" what is theirs. It's not a good way to understand conservatism.

The American dream is the idea that all Americans can move up the economic ladder if they are willing to work hard and keep going even when things get hard. I believe in this idea because I went from being homeless to having a stable income by working hard and getting better at things.

The idea is kind in the same way that wishing everyone good health is kind, but no one would tell you that not everyone can have good health.

Democrats and other people on the left even use minorities as weapons by implying that the fact that there were overt racial barriers in the past means that this dream is now impossible. However, they enjoy making fun of people who say that these racial barriers didn't exist for them, and they don't care about minorities like me who have gotten around these so-called barriers.

When Democrats attack this idea by saying it has a deeper, more sinister meaning, they answer the question of why Republicans like it: Republicans are the only ones who still seem to believe in it.

Democrats have given up on the working class's American dream in favor of what the progressive elite wants. People at the bottom or middle of the economic ladder are the only ones who want to move up the ladder. Democrats, on the other hand, tend to only listen to people at the top, and it bothers them more and more that the bottom is getting closer to them.

Every country has problems, including the United States, but most Americans don't agree with the progressive elite's story that racism is everywhere, is contagious, and is accepted by everyone.

Many moderates have joined the only party that is willing to talk about the good things America has to offer, especially for the many immigrants who feel lucky to have been given the chance to do well here.

The Democratic Party's elitism makes it hard for it to understand why so many moderate voters are choosing to be independent or to join the Republican Party. They are sick of being attacked in bad faith to make the upper class happy.

If Democrats were willing to be humble, they would see that Americans believe in the American dream because they believe in each other and the greatness of this country. Telling us not to dream is like telling us to give up, and we're too ambitious for that.

I'd rather dream than become a Democrat who can't sleep.
