I've been saying this for months now.
Virginia was basically the canary in the coal mine because Northern Virginia's population explosion was easily able to quickly overwhelm the rest of the state, which was relatively small compared to other Southern states like Georgia and North Carolina.
However, the same trend is happening in both those states. Georgia should be very concerning to the GOP, particularly in light of the Alabama results. Georgia is basically 1/3 black and growing, and the hispanic/asian population is creeping up. Mix in Northern professional transplants and you basically have a 50/50 state. But on top of that the rural white population is declining. This is the exact same scenario that happened in Virginia.
North Carolina is similar, though in that case the black population is smaller so it is more reliant on transplants. However, Virginia has the smallest black population of the three (20%) and was still able to make this coalition work.
In the west, same thing happened except replace blacks with hispanics. New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada are now all democratic states.
Arizona and Texas will soon follow. California is so unimaginably blue that the GOP will continue to shed congressional seats there.
Basically the GOP is fucked unless it retains the governors mansions in pretty much the entire midwest so it can gerrymander again. Even a neutral redistricting environment will leave them fucked because they will lose about 20 seats there.

they are really fucked after 2020.
redistricting is going to be horrible for them for 2 main reasons:
1) they will lose most of their gerrymanders. they already lost VA, NJ based on the governor's races. they already lost PA because they lost the Supreme Court elections there and the court immediately took up gerrymandering, they will also probably lose a handful of governors races in the next year or two. This will cost them at least 2 dozen seats right there.
2) another huge, but not mentioned factor... rural population decay. right now a significant number of GOP congressional districts have lost population. At the same time, the overwhelming majority of DEM districts have gained significant population. This means that the GOP is currently overrepresented in the house. In 2020, when the census forces a new round of redistricting, DEM districts will have to be cut up, putting more DEMS in more districts. Republican districts will have to take in more people. This means rural portions of a state that once held two districts (notably in North Carolina and Virginia) will only hold one.

yeah I know, I am agreeing with you and disagreeing with the other guy.
also, the term "suburbs" is very broad and encompasses a huge array of population centers.
The GOP's numbers are propped up by "suburbs" which are in a lot of cases exurbs or small townships outside of decaying cities in the midwest. If you look at large suburban areas, particularly growing ones like the outskirts of Washington, DC or the suburbs of Phoenix or Atlanta... the GOP vote share is declining fast.
