What the film states is that it's hard to live in America if you are an ordinary person.

This is too generic and simplistic to suit me. The concept of "ordinary person" is an entirely subjective construct.

And their idea of the American dream is probably shared by a lot of "ordinary" (adolescent) americans (a sentimental, Boy Scout, pop-music America).

I highly doubt that. In reality, this "Boy Scout" America of the 50s was a mirage, a facade. It was an era characterized by repression and hypocrisy (Did Good Night and Good Luck open in Deutschland?). Lynch's nostalgia for the 50s is at best myopic, at worst perverse.
