Since the GOP now holds both Congress and the Presidency, with a likelihood of continued Supreme Court majority, they may enact some protectionist policies to appease the voters. However, these could in fact make the economic situations worse and some people would start to blame other things.
Could the backlash spill to the technology and related sectors as well (e.g. a neo-Luddite movement might get started)?
Note: I did not grow up in the US, so I would like to hear your opinions on this, especially from Americans.

That would ignite a civil war in the Republican party between the populists and the upper-class free-trade establishment, and while the populists have a good chance of winning, it's not a done deal.

Unlikely, since anyone who gives up technology will be at a severe competitive disadvantage and screw themselves over.
