The point that you are missing is that the majority would not have anything to do with state size because if there is a majority of blue states it would include 5 of the 10 least populated states. Vermont, Delaware, Rhode Island, Main, and New Hampshire.
The fact is that you don't really care about state size by population. All you care about is if the states are conservative or liberal. You don't care about a tyranny of a MAJORITY. All you are afraid of is a tyranny of LIBERALS. It is about protecting the control by the people who share your ideology instead of protecting the interests of the less populated states.
If liberals are the majority then wouldn't their rule be a "tyranny of the majority"? If you had bothered to respond to my sourced statement earlier in this thread you'd see that "the majority" was not necessarily the most populous states. The concept is of a majority imposing their will on a minority in which the minority have no recourse and the possible (likely?) toxicity this would engender. Hence, you have once again made my own argument for me. My thanks again.
