Idealism subsumes everything, because everything you know and learn about is an idea. You think your ideas represent something, but the fact is you have no direct access to anything at all, except through experiences and ideas about them.
We can confidently say, therefore, that everything that we know about reality can be understood through idea-- whatever the underlying reality is, we know that. What you do is start listing all the ideas and experiences you have that lead you to think there's something more than that, not really getting that all along, you never WERE talking about anything more than ideas.
