Reality is a consequential phenomenon. It is something which is learned through personal experience and not by way of supposition or theory.

Reality occurs when a person turns away from a tornado warning on their TV and looks out their window to see the vortex coming across a field toward their house. It is what a person learns as they look down at the body of a child they just ran over with their car. It is the arrival from officials to tell a wife her husband was killed in combat. It is the feeling which comes from being evicted from one’s home. It is the last feeling a person has knowing they are just about to die.

The uninitiated who aren’t fully acquainted with reality readily proclaim they are, when that cannot be a fact.

 This is why the votes of young people, liberal progressives and non-military veteran college professors and politicians are so dangerous.

When soldiers from another country come calling at your door or when you realize that bright flash on the horizon was a nuclear detonation…that’s when you realize Joe Biden’s lofty words, “I’ve been saying for a long time, the reason the rest of the world in large part has repaired to us is not the example of our power, but the power of our example.” are the words of a man who has yet to recognize reality.
