Where is this Galt’s Gulch where all the world’s sane and intelligent have fled? Because they sure aren’t in America, and most of Europe isn’t looking too brilliant either!
The problem is that after fleeing to a new place, it’s hard to rebuild back to what you could have been. Especially when that new place is also xenophobic/exclusionary.
Refugees need a generation or two of rebuilding and growing into the new community to reach their full potential.
Unfortunately, the world has become very insular and hostile to newcomers trying to build a better life. Even ivy league NY liberals will destroy you for having a mildly different background than them, let alone the Putins and Trumps and their supporters.
This is going to be like Russia, the smart and sane ones leave only for the dumb people remaining to prop up an authoritarian regime.
less dumb and more financially incapable to leave.

What were the smart and sane ones even doing there in the first place.
Same as it ever was.
