I would argue that the base [by its definition as a mass phenomenon] is not capable of understanding anything beyond the level of slogans. Thus whatever unites it, has to be either slogan-primitive, or primitivizable to the level of a slogan [for example, "demographic ideas" are perceived at "us vs. them" level - try to make it more "basic" [pun intended] and slogan-like!]. Now, how many correct conservative ideas are driveable to such level? - not many, beyond national security and low taxation. One could include "limited government" in its slogan form "ef off and leave me alone!"

So, if I understand you correctly, a base is just some hybrid beast with a lot of energy and not much smarts?

If that’s the case — and I don’t necessarily agree — then there must be some other underlying thing that unites them. Maybe it’s not a complex concept — just similar situations in life, but something.
