A person who's personal and political views transcend the petty right-wing left-wing mentality and understands how things really work in the world.
Someone who acknowledges that humans are terrible by nature and that the only cure for everything is one of the population-destroying meteors that passes between the Earth and Moon twice a month.

Realists believe that reality is completely ontologically independent of our conceptual schemes, linguistic practices, beliefs and our perception.
Those who profess realism, also believe that truth consists in a belief's correspondence to reality. We may speak of realism with respect to other minds, the past, the future, universals, mathematical entities, moral categories, the material world, or even thought.
Realists further believe that whatever we believe now is only an approximation of reality and that every new observation brings us closer to understanding reality. Realists also believe that a common understanding of reality brings peace and is the basis for morality.

A realist (by definition) is a person completey unbiased. Something we should all stride for. There are people that are so biased that literaly nothing can sway there way of thinking. If they think the sky is green god himself couldn't make them think any differently. Unfortunately nobody on earth is a full realist because we all have some level of bias. But we should always stride to be as close to reality as possible.
A realist see things as they are with zero bias and deal with the situation as is.
Some people see a glass half emty or half full, a realist sees a glass that has a milk level perfectly between the top of the glass to the bottom.
