The whole point of a political "base" is that those are the people who can't be swayed. Any party that only gets the votes of its base, loses. To win, a party needs the votes of its base plus those of a wide segment outside that base.
Fact checking is about preventing liars from expanding support much beyond their base and thus, hopefully, making political victory something accessible only to honest people.
