...what's left of it anyway:

'The aide [an official in the George W. Bush administration, assumed by many to be Karl Rove] said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

Apparently liberals went through a phase of embracing the term for themselves, but we all know that's not true any more post-Russiagate, covid, Ukraine, Gaza, if it ever was.

cheers, and best of luck with maintaining sanity. Even Norm took a break when it was getting too much for him.
