Term limit foolishness & the electoral college mistake should be able to be halted by Congress so I'm not worried about any long term damage yet.
But at least I've gotten some fun out of watching the lunatic fringe heads blow up for a few days.

Term limits would require a Constitutional amendment, same as it did for POTUS after Roosevelt. Ditto ditching the Electoral College.
So while they can just ignore those pronouncements, and go to court if he goes 'hey I bet an Executive Order will take care of those,' if those two elements resonate strongly enough with the general public, a Constitutional convention can make them happen.
Elect a demagogue at your peril.
