My prediction is that the demonization will begin long before transhumanists have the popularity, clout or resources to alter the established order in a significant way. Atheists are probably the best parallel.

Atheists became prominent (again) in the United States around the time that The End of Faith came out and became popular. I think the Stonewall riots brought homosexuals into public prominence in the United States, but I have a poor grasp of history.
