This week Heaven takes a closer look at the Dirtbag Left in a small mini series and sees how the influence of Leftist podcasters plays a role in political discourse as well as pop culture using Chapo Trap House as an example. To support her argument, she references the 1993 David Foster Wallace essay, "E Unibus Pluram" as well as Father John Misty to highlight how irony is often misunderstood, and isn't nearly as detached as many would find it to be, that even through irony sincerity can still shine through.
