A lot of conservatives don't like democracy any way. (Look how they've engaged in massive vote suppression during recent elections, for example.) So why do they worry that transhumanism threatens democracy, when you'd expect they'd embrace human enhancement to help them sabotage the political will of the unenhanced masses more effectively?
enhanced humans are danderous to the facistas,dumbed/tired/fearful automans is desired. You obey what you fear, you love what you understand. Dennis from Oregon
