The community certainly hopes that they want Doge to reach $1 in time. Who knows when, and they probably hope But Bitcoin reaches its peak to create the second ATH. But the question is whether Doge is able to create that surprise and, as you said, is the first meme coin and, of course, this is surprising.
If you expect from Elon, will Elon do the same thing again? Of course, it can't be predicted well, but it will indeed be very difficult if Doge wants to reach $1.
I think it is not community to expect Doge price $1, the holders of Dogecoin who expect it. 
I don't really care whether Dogecoin to reach $1 or not. I'm not Dogecoin holder, not Dogecoin fan.
I don't want to claim it is impossible but it looks like very hard to see Dogecoin $1 now. It seems Elon Musk no longer supports Dogecoin. Also, there is no bit news about Dogecoin development recently.
Of course, the holders are the ones that needs to be bullish because after all, they're holding a coin that MIGHT change their lives... or will it?

Like you, I'm not a holder of DOGE, but I'm putting the coin on my watchlist just because of the fact that it's the OG meme coin and I already said after the great Kabosu died (RIP to him) that I will hold DOGE for the long-term no matter what happens. It's like when the bear market starts, I will allocate a portion of my portfolio on buying DOGE. More like a vow to myself.

The only way DOGE will reach a dollar is if another influencer/s will try and pump the coin again like what Elon Musk did a few years ago.

For those users here who bought the coin at the top, wait a little more and sell the token during the peak of the bull run, but of course don't expect that you will end up breakeven.
