Sounds like good advice. Would you compare our current situation to the early years of the Weimar Republic?

Nope.
The USA, unlike Germany at that time, has not come out of a huge war, defeated, and is not forced to pay huge reparations. Nor are there Communist and right-wing band having street battles on eery corner. Nor are there states ruled by a Soviet-Style government.

its more reminiscent of the early 30s, when FDR took power.
There are some very good recent books about that time - and I think we’re seeing PB) trying to imitate an FDR-style regime, with all the truly bad things this implies. Executive orders in the first 100 days are one of these things …
