1 definition by Julie-K

Someone who acts, speaks or thinks in regards to how things should be, rather than how they are. Idealistic individuals are usually in total denial about the real nature of life and it's workings, instead espousing some kind of misguided oprah-esque, political correct nonsense instead.
Idealistic person1: "socialism roxx becuz its not fair that not everyone's rich and rich people should give their money to the poor! Yay Obama!!"

Realistic person:" I put myself through school, got a good job, and worked hard for years to get promoted, and now my money is being taken by uncle sam to give to people who never cared about bettering themselves."

Idealistic person: "Lesbians can be just like anyone else, they don't all look like men!"

Fact: 98% of true lesbians are obese and have crew cuts.

Idealistic person: "people shouldn't judge other people! we are all the same! Don't criticize other people! grow up!"

(then runs off to laugh at someone on american idol after downvoting another person's youtube video.)
