Very apt, Jim. As they say, if you treat people like mushrooms that means you keep them in the dark and cover them with manure.

"Most of the rest of the world finds itself in the curious position of hoping the next President of the United States will be a liar and a hypocrite." (From an editorial in The Tablet.)

Which means that we can maybe be a little bit encouraged by the indications that this is the case, with news of his backing off on his promise to try to jail Hillary Clinton, and even maybe on a few of his other firm promises, like instantly abolishing Obamacare and totally rejecting any notion of worrying about the environment, and denouncing the outright fascism and racism of the "alt-right".

Though since he is such a liar, there's no reason to think that saying stuff like that means anything either.

If he does back off on too many of his campaign pledges I don't imagine that will go down with the people who hysterically rallied to him. But why should he care about what they think? "So long, suckers".   They should have realised that's the way he has always operated in business. Never even made a secret of it.
