Hyperbole. But mostly thinking about the senate, where originally states appointed senators to represent the interests of the state.
Now that they're elected it gives more voting power to smaller populations.
N+S Dakota have a combined population of 1.6 million, and 4 senators.
California has 40 million, and 2 senators.
Hence the GOP running so much of this country, despite almost always losing the popular vote.
