based

A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.

The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.

The latter usage is the original use as coined by rapper Lil B, and the word originally took off on the meta-ironic website 4Chan with the latter meaning. For that reason the word is largely used meta-ironically (without context you can't tell if it's being used ironically or sincerely as it's used in both ways) and was popularized in online political slang of conservatives and the political right before being adopted into mainstream online political slang (likely through shitposting websites or subreddits such as r/politicalcompass memes that are similar to 4chan in their meta-irony and "edginess" but contain a wider variety of political beliefs) and eventually adopted into general online vernacular.

When used in online political language it can mean "based in fact" or the opposite of biased due to the number of people who saw it being first used seriously by the online political right and came to the conclusion that is was related to the phrase "destroyed with facts and logic" in reference to right wing personality Ben Shapiro.

Basement Caucus

A group of Twitter lowlives in the political circle, many (but not all) of them stan accounts for a specific obscure politician, that are extremely autistic and don't leave their basements, and will never get to experience living life like a normal person. Very similar to the Election Mafia, with plenty of overlap as well.

The Republican Basement Caucus went on a rant about how a specific North Carolina politician would lose because he was too far right, although he really wasn't. He ended up winning by 7 points.

Based Stickman

Otherwise known as the "Alt-Knight". He is the protector of all people and things right winged. He came to a pro-Trump rally dressed in a hoodie, knee pads, a fume mask, goggles, and a baseball helmet bearing a big stick and a shield with an American flag. At the Third Battle of Berkeley March 6th, 2017 he broke his stick over the head of an antifa commie. This patriot will go down in history for his battle prowess, and the protector of the peaceful pro-Trump supporters.

"Did you see that guy with a shield over there?" "Yeah, that's Based Stickman, the Alt-Knight."
