      Don’t know exactly but something similar to a mixture of a brave, true, and cool statement. Think it was first used by right wing chuds but then adopted ironically by terminally online liberals.

      You’d say “based” if you agree with the political messaging of something.

      (Pls correct me if I’m wrong)

        Generally agree, but I think right wing chuds were the second wave usage trying to co-opt the meaning to be opposite of woke.
