Brief

The post by @beaverd satirically attacks Baby Boomers—saying they’d "sell their birthright for an ice cream cone in the north pole" and mocking ageist expectations—then cites a CBS News clip shared by Camilo Montoya-Galvez showing 75-year-old lifelong Republican John Gannon (a Trump voter) who now regrets that vote after ICE arrested his fiancée in Houston and urges enforcement to target criminals, not families or small businesses.

Why it matters

@beaverd claims “boomers would sell their birthright for an ice cream cone in the north pole,” calling that view “optimistic” and adding that “ice cream in a frozen tundra doesn't hit the wall at 28 and turn into an abuelita overnight.”
