The only limits are the Republican's own balls and the possibility of fucking revolution (HAH, YEAH RIGHT), because there is no arm of government that can stop them from doing whatever the fuck they want. Also: even if Trump is a one-term president (the best case scenario), he still almost certainly secures the Supreme Court for conservatives until sometime in the 2030's.

The Supreme Court is a loss, certainly, though in at least the immediate term things merely return to the living-Scalia status quo. If Trump wins re-election (admittedly likely) then things get really bad there.
Election rigging is a thing, of course, and it will no doubt get considerably worse, but it wasn't the deciding factor in this election, since election rigging doesn't impact the white working class very much, it also will vary heavily from state to state. So yeah, blue North Carolina's gone for some time, and Florida too most likely, but the much lamented 'firewall' states are potentially salvageable.
Ultimately, yes this is really, really bad, but the key question is really how much worse it is compared to a generic republican victory - considering that such a thing was always a strong possibility in this election. President-elect Rubio would have been awful too, but he would have been a sort of awful that one could understand.
There is the chance that Trump is uniquely awful in ways that permanently destroy democracy in the United States - in fact I'd say the chances are disturbingly high - but there's also the chance that Trump falters in some fashion that doesn't cause too much long-term damage, at least domestically, but tanks his reputation completely. The most likely scenario would be in foreign affairs. If Putin actually does invade the Baltics that could do it. Of course, in that scenario the innocent people of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania shall suffer for the sins of the US, which sucks massively too.
There is no silver lining for certain. This situation sucks, a lot, I'm just trying to hope it doesn't end up sucking quite as much as it potentially could.

Or finding any weapons of mass destruction. He pretty much failed to keep any of his promises while thousands of his sujects died directly because of his incompetence.

Bush just barely won re-election in 2004, and in all honestly Sept 11 benefited him immensely in terms of popularity. Also, he actually kept many of his domestic policy promises and due to the growing housing bubble it took time for his economic policies to tank the economy. Trump's got a huge edge of Bush the race to tank the economy. Not only is he poised to throw the world into recession just by virtue of being elected, passing the Ryan Budget is going to end this recovery so fast there will be whiplash. Through a trade war or two on top and there's potentially a full-on Depression. And that's without even considering the hell mass deportation and the repeal of Obamacare are going to unleash.
The American voter is not especially smart and includes a lot of racist and misogynistic jerks. It also holds the President responsible for the condition of the country. Trump is the right wing media universe's fever dream come to life - everything they ever wanted - but they can and will turn on him if that dream becomes a nightmare. They won't actually vote democratic, but this is likely the highest the white working class turnout is ever going to get, it doesn't take many staying home to change things.

I'm gonna keep hammering on this.
It's not "appealed to" it's "Failed to appeal to".
You are, only just now, ONE PRESIDENT off the guy who won soundly off just about nothing but the fucking words "Hope and Change" a successful appeal to the US public's better nature CAN work. It can work off the faintest smell of an oily rag associated with hope and change apparently.
It was Hillary and her campaign that failed, not the better nature of humanity. This wasn't a grand test of the US public's better nature, this was a test of Hillary and her party establishment's most basic competence at getting elected.

Bullshit. Because this was an election where Trump did nothing right. He turned the expectations of the election on its head. Nothing that people thought mattered - position, experience, money, ground game, organization - mattered. It was celebrity, tribalism, and an appeal to the lowest. Trump was crude, Trump was rude, Trump was a confused fucking mess that couldn't articulate himself at all. And he won.

And Clinton did something right again? Not policy she never managed to successfully promote, I mean electoral strategy, dealing with the media, appealing to voters?
She didn't make any clear serious effort to appeal to the left, the young, the anti-establishment, the anti-wallstreet, former sanders supporters, the working class, even the "Obama coalition", fuck it lets face it just about anyone. People talked about it before with her VP pick. She and her party ran this whole election on the assumption that "suckers HAVE to pick me this time!" and then tried (fucking barely) to appeal to the center right, who, fucking surprise didn't vote for her because they never fucking will.
Oops.
She didn't deal well with the media. She didn't deal well with her fake scandals. She didn't even have good slogans. She didn't even have fucking "Hope and Change". She didn't even have that god damn poster.
Large portions of the American public are angry. Many of them dumb and angry. They are angry with whoever they happen to identify as being in charge. They have both good and bad reasons for this anger. The democrats had a chance to harness that with Sanders, but even more importantly they had a fucking bigger chance with Obama off the back of a pretty much gimme contrast thanks to GW and I know that many democrat party loyalists were trying to rationalise and say how he sorta kinda finally in the end wasn't the giant disappointment that he turned out to be, but you know, fuck it, he actually totally failed to deliver and that was another failure of the party.
This is not a success by Trump and the Republicans. They are nothing more than a clown car of human centipedes they can barely even drive in a straight line on a good day. This is a failure of the democrats and the mainstream center so called left. They were given every fucking chance to be the hope and changers repeatedly and they turned their back on it at every opportunity.

If I were Clinton, my electoral strategy would have been "everything I just did, except not let Obama nominate Comey to lead the FBI." That probably would have done it. Without the email scandal hitting the news cycle over and over and over, Clinton basically doesn't hit either of her big lows and probably would have won even with the polling miss.
Talking policy would not have changed the outcome of this election; policy was talked, and the media did not cover it. Elaborate rhetoric would not have changed the outcome of this election; Clinton nailed the debates and they lifted her polling, but then that advantage eroded because "hey, how about those emails and that foundation, ehh?" went the media. The fact is that if you can't get your message out because the news cycle is dominated by sensationalist notroversies your message doesn't matter. This really is a success by Trump and the Republicans. Specifically, the success of using partisan government agents to control the news cycle and then squeeking by on the back of some deeply flawed electoral institutions.

A funny thing is that this had been prophetized by an election simulator game.

> Now, I decided to try something else that might be fun - run a campaign against Hillary using nothing but Probing Hillary's Emails as an issue. So basically, I'd be running speeches screaming EMAILS EMAILS EMAILS and running ads all over the country screaming EMAILS EMAILS EMAILS, meaning that not only will this scandal remain in the headlines the entire time, but people will actually give a shit about it.

Spaming the e-mail issue was super-effective after all!
But that doesn't change the fact Hillary failed to get any message across.
Bush the Second has TERROR! and WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!
Obama had HOPE! and CHANGE!
Trump had MAKE MURIKA GREAT AGAIN! and E-MAILS! Ok, the first one was stolen, but it's still catchy.
Clinton the woman had... Nothing.
The election is literally a popularity contest. You need something to grab the audience's short attention span.
And Hillary's failure is double because she had a fucking husband who had got elected and re-elected supposedly backing her up. What was Bill doing to let her screw up so badly?

Obama also did not have pro-Trump FBI agents leaking information about a possible investigation into his birth certificate. That "controversy" stayed firmly in the realm of deranged fruitcakes. Again, the real moral of this story appears to be that if the system is rigged against you you will have one hell of a hard time winning. That a Democrat helped rig it is just an extra punchline. Aside: we officially get to call Obama one of the worst presidents of all time now, as his list of accomplishments now includes one of the other worst presidents of all time. So there's that.

The policies of a woman that the people don't trust don't matter. I mentioned 'way' earlier that the reason I wanted Bernie to be president (outside of the fact that I'd been a fan of his that wanted him to run for president before this election) over Hillary because I couldn't trust her. She has a long history and in a number of places she was on the wrong side of it. If people don't trust you it doesn't matter what you 'say' you're going to do. The fact of the matter is people like me were/are tired of rank standard politicians.
Whatever ground game or debate performances Hillary had going, really doesn't matter to people who have already decided that she is, a duplicitous liar. I don't know what she could've done about this label. I still think of her as exactly that even when I had taken it upon myself to very earnestly convince people to vote for her. Even right now, mourning her loss, I don't trust her. I can't even say that she could've done a better job because whatever she was doing did not reach my ears and likely didn't reach the ears of anyone I talked to. I saw Frank going on about how excellent her ground game was and I saw her acceptable debates but none of that seemed to matter to anyone I associate with (both closely or observe through media). Everyone knew what Trump was up to of course. The media COULD NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM. Hillary though? Outside of her failings I never really heard about Hillary, what she was doing, or anything. "I'm with her" is about the only slogan from her campaign that I'd even heard and people just made a joke out of it.
As for alternatives... Having the FBI openly hostile towards a candidate wouldn't have been a problem for Bernie (maybe), having a checkered past wouldn't have been a problem for Bernie (as far as I can tell), being a woman would not have been a problem for Bernie, having a simple message everyone could listen to and believe was definitely not a problem Bernie had. Would having Bernie as the lead on the ticket have made this election a lot easier for us? I don't know. He was an outspoken socialist, he was an outspoken Jew, and I can't really think of anything else that might've made the right's case against him so I'll leave it at that. That being said, for all the huffing and puffing Lago and PL are doing over it it does not matter because the people didn't vote for him. They voted for Hillary which, of course, made the establishment think that going forward as normal was going to be fine. So while I 'do' understand what they are getting at as far as candidates go but it doesn't matter. The people spoke and they said no.
Having said that, I can see why given the huge victory Clinton had over him, the establishment would think very little of Bernie especially when the opponent is a clown. They goofed, in (I feel) the exact way anti-brexit strategists did. I believe, thinking back over the course of the election, that a lot of the same tactics were used. Assumed moral superiority, having all the experts on your side, being openly dismissive of those who oppose the seeming obvious choice, all of these things seemed to have led to them underestimating their opponent and the size of the self righteous bigoted voter camp.

Soooo, why didn't Bush the second rig the election against Obama?
Really, a black democratic dude managed to get in power for 8 years after one of the most republican dudes ever was in power. He's technically still running the White House.
Why would Obama hate Hillary so much to let the system be rigged against her when he could avoid it himself twice already?
The only logical explanation is that Hillary turned out just that bad.
And let's be honest, Hillary 8 years ago failed to become president while competing against some black dude nobody knew about-Oh, wait. It was petty revenge from Obama against Hillary of course!

Safe bet is on 'the worst.' The fact-free party has just been handed all branches of government to pursue their horrifying solutions to imaginary problems, and their leader is a nascent fascist dictator with no impulse control and a revenge complex.

Except that the Donald has likewise been linked with Epstein in the past as well, in fact he should still have a case coming up in December by a lady claiming Trump had raped her when she was 13, unless that got buried again.
Edit: That particular case against Trump has since been dropped due to no corroborative evidence.
That's not to say both parties might or might not have been involved with Epstein's little ring, but if one is going down for it odds favor the other will as well.

You think reality is involved? The FBI made it's decision about who is going to be president, when he gives them marching order to arrest Clinton come hell or high water, they aren't going to accidentally arrest him on trumped up charges at the same time.

No. That is a pretty accurate assessment of this election, except add him asking 'woman, why you out of the kitchen?' Sexism was a huge part of this shitshow.
@As for 'working class solidarity,' fuck that noise. We're looking at the results of that sort of shit today: the working class wants to be shit on and lied to, as long as they can grovel in their delusions. They're an obstacle that has to be worked around, and the only thing that can be done is to educate the shit out of their kids, so the obstacle gets smaller over time.
