Have you considered applying for a phd and pursuing your research-related career somewhere abroad?
A very talented (sadly deceased) acquaintance of mine became unemployable in the US due to his left-wing politics, although he was quite moderate (e.g., he never advocated violence). He ended up doing very well at LSE.
Given the way things are in this country, movement abroad is something I've been thinking about for a while, but it's not a decision to be taken lightly.
