Because the American political system is designed for geographic representation and not population representation. The bicameral congressional setup doesn’t do enough to counter that, and in some ways it even exacerbates the disproportionate geographic focus. That is not to say that Republicans don’t take advantage and cheat the system, but the design of the system is what allows them to take advantage of it.
Let me help distil this for a few of our pro-insurrectionists that may not understand "big" words.
The two party system was designed to favor land holders over individual voters. That is still the case and trumpublicans use that to great advantage.
