Right now a lot of the academics are thinking "we're up for four hard, lean years, but after that it'll get better. We can survive this, if not easily."
If Trump gets reelected, or someone else with a similar anti intellectual bent takes control there's going to be a massive brain drain. Hopefully towards Europe, but I'm expecting there'll be a diaspora towards Europe, India and Japan while China and Russia try to get a cut of the pie. And China and Russia do have a lot of money to toss at academics to convince them to join up.
