Hoosier progressives who’ve given up on electoralism and democratic proceduralism bc of Parks and Rec’s aubrimplausibility (or Leslie’s fondness for pests like CK, Pratt, Lowe, or even Joe Brandon) are victims of ‘negative poehlerization’
Something unlikely to occur in an actual Indianan city parks and rec department, but might fly in the Hollywood imagination of same, I would characterize as ‘aubrimplausible’

What have SCOTUS historians made of the fact that the Earl Warren Court (1954-1969) was immediately followed by the Warren Earl Burger Court (1969-1986)? Weird that the Chief has the same names? And how much stranger that it was followed by the Earl Burger Warren Rehnquist Court (1986-2006)!?
