Consider that a lot of suburbs aren't as lily-white as they were in the '50s and '60s. But whatever the GOP has lost in suburbs it has gained many times over in exurbs: Acres of non-denominational white Protestants with no more and no less education than a bachelor's degree, living in massive pasteboard McMansions that have libraries with no books in them, commuting 50 miles to and from work in Expeditions and Suburbans, shopping at Mediterranean-themed strip malls that all feature a Starbucks, a Chipotle, a Best Buy and a Kohl's. No public spaces. No poor minorities looking for a handout (just the ones who vacuum their living rooms and make their pillow-sized burritos at Chipotle). It's the Tea Party's natural home.
