Republicans are not going to win cities or get anywhere close for a long, long time, but the margins they're getting matter a whole lot. If Democrats need to win Detroit by 80+ points to win Michigan, then Republicans even getting 15% in it, for example, would hurt Dems a great deal. Perhaps the suburban trends could make it a moot point, but relying on getting basically every vote in many urban areas provides some shaky ground in a lot of Midwestern states. They can only go down, and as long as Democrats have dominated urban POC, that seems to be slipping. If Black voters start voting 80% instead of 90-95%, that would be it for Democrats in the Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc.
