Alternative Lifestyles, Individualism, The American Dream Debate
Panelists on The McLaughlin Group, including Eleanor Clift, suggest the American Dream is being redefined as "less materialistic" and more focused on "meaning" and "individualism." Host John McLaughlin introduces the concept of "alternative lifestyles" into the definition, which the podcast hosts interpret as a coded reference to the LGBTQ community. The segment concludes that the traditional dream of success is being replaced by a "safety net" mentality.
