I’ve been on the Donald for a few months now and I’m loving it.

I get that “Based” means conservative and has a positive connotation, but I don’t understand the origin. Is it a play on the left calling us Baseless? Anyone know the history here?

In my mind, how I use it and understand it, “Based” means supremely good, top notch, based in truth in a way that is unmatched. This may not be the actual definition and others may want to expand or detract from my definition, but that’s how I see it.

The baseless man built his house on the sand, and the rains came and washed it away. The based man built his house on the rock, and the rains came and the house stood solid.

No, Based does not mean conservative.

Simply put, a ‘based’ person is a person who does not give a fuck what anyone else thinks of them.

Many conservatives however are based, especially so in the times we live in.
