I read somewhere on here that the main explanation for the massive swing towards the GOP in rural areas in the Midwest and Northeast comes from the southernization of Northern Rural areas in the United States. With Southern Pride now morphing into "Rural Pride" due to Trumps candidacy. The main enemy to Rural America wasn't the "Massachusetts Liberal" but instead the "Coastal Elitists".

Is there an inverse effect happening to Urban and Suburban areas in the South? Like where now Southern culture is becoming Rural culture is Northeastern culture essentially becoming Suburban culture?

Definitely. Virginia has traditionally been far more conservative than Maryland, but NoVA suburbs are coming closer and closer to voting like their counterparts on the other side of the Potomac.

Or look at how transplants from the Northeast and West Coast have changed the voting patterns of suburbs in Georgia, Texas and North Carolina.

Even suburban counties like Shelby (AL), Rankin (MS), Lexington (SC) or Williamson (TN). Pre-Trump, these counties were often the single most Republican in their respective states. They all remain safe R for now, but saw noticeable swings towards Biden.
