Based

Based means correct and admirable, albeit often sort of controversial. It started (with this meaning) as a term in online political circles, but has devolved into being applicable to pretty much anything. It can be used as a single word response to something you agree with but you also perceive as something not universally accepted by society, or something really dumb or silly. It can also be used as an adjective with the same use. It can also be used to refer to a person you agree with. The word based is sometimes but not always used with the terms or variants of the terms “and redpilled”, a reference to The Matrix.
In a political context.

Person 1: “I think we need to start letting people in jail vote.”

Person 2: “Based”

Person 3: “Senator Stevens is based as fuck.”

In a non-political context.

Person 1: “I sleep with 12 stuffed animals.”

Person 2: “Based.”

In a stupid context

Person 1: “I only shit in the shower.”

Person 2: “That’s extremely based.”

Person 3: “Based and pooppilled.”

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.
Example 1: meta-ironic
Shitposter: Posts gif of monke
Commentor: Based

Example 2: meta-ironic
4chan Anon 1: I'm going to commit hate crimes
4chan Anon 2: Based

Example 3: Politics
Gigachad: Taxation is theft.
Gigachad 2: Based.
Urban Dictionary User 1 (you): Based.
