Not really, no. There are plenty of explanations, but today I'll go with this: Look at the presidential election in 2000, and Trump's wins in WI/MI/PA won't seem that game-changing. Bush lost WI by less than 6 thousand votes, and MI/PA were within 4-6 points. Minnesota was within 2.5 points. AZ within ~6. Trump did really well with a certain group of people (WWCs) who were concentrated in certain states, and he drew a candidate that really didn't fare well with this group either.

At most I think all of this is most significant as some regional trends but not close to any sort of realigning event.
