> 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. 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. > Could the backlash spill to the technology and related sectors as well (e.g. a neo-Luddite movement might get started)? Unlikely, since anyone who gives up technology will be at a severe competitive disadvantage and screw themselves over.
