The Official President Trump thread: Trump gonna pay my mortgage
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(politics)
"In politics, the term base refers to a group of voters who almost always support a single party's candidates for elected office. Base voters are very unlikely to vote for the candidate of an opposing party, regardless of the specific views each candidate holds."
That syncs up well with my definition. I'm not familiar with your connotation.
People always talk about black voters as part of the Dem base and black voters are not a majority of Dem voters.
Is there any single group who overwhelmingly goes for one party and makes up a majority of that party? It seems like you're trying to make my post apply to you so you can get offended when it clearly was not my intention. Now you can just be a victim and claim that everybody who disagrees with you thinks you're "a racist" or try to discuss these issues in a reasonable fashion.
"Base" has a connotation (at least) of "majority of supporters." So when you say that that Trump's base is kkk, white nationalists, and hate mongers committing public acts (as stated in ChrisL's post), you're saying that those types of people constitute the majority of his supporters. That's just plainly wrong.
