Politely, who the heck would write, much less put in the practice of reciting, a several minutes-long poem for a thinly veiled swipe at a political figure? Amanda could've just spat out a hot take on twitter if she wanted that, same as everyone else who wants to make swipes.

"Era of redemption." Gee, I'm sure looking forward to it.

- TeaDrunk 6y agoAnd I think presuming it's nothing more than a swipe makes no sense, occam's razor style. There's no reason why she would put that much effort (a several minutes long poem, plus the practice of recital).
- war1025 6y ago> And I think presuming it's nothing more than a swipe makes no sense, Obviously it's not only that. It's a big moment for her and a great honor. But also I think there was that flavor to it, and I'd guess her target audience thought it was great of her to put that touch in there.
