in 2004 journalist Ron Suskind quoted an unnamed Bush official (speculated to be Karl Rove) with what we didn't know at the time was the Rosetta Stone of the 21st century Republican Party
![The aide 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://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4vhu6pap5wzanbuzg6gjmytk/bafkreichcjsqmdhoo52vlvrm7c6byriyzdi67tee5msnkjo2j23q5kx7sq@jpeg)
