There is a good science fiction novel, Russian Spring by Norman Sprinrad,
that is starting to appear prophetic. Essentially, the U.S. has become a
conservative bastion ruled and populated by buffons, where the best and the
brightest leave for other countries. Europe and Russia have joined together
and are creating an energetic space program along with an open, tolerant
society.

Why would the best and brightest leave a conservative, capitalist society where
their talents and efforts would bring them success to have the fruits of their
labors plundered by a socialist regime?

Those who would leave would be the failures who THINK they are the best and
brightest, taking their degrees in Fench literature and art history with them.

Oh dear, how will we get along without them?
