I've edited the above to show my 90% agreement, not to change your statement. Two- or more-party rule is far better than any large imbalance in power. Listening (really and truly) to dissidents and opponents and different schools of thought is wise and immensely pragmatic since it makes one stronger, and ignoring "the others" breeds weakness and blindness.
Many other Administrations have suffered from this failing, hugely and egregiously. This one is not alone, nor is it an exception. But I do agree that it also suffers from this failing, that it is not focused on "all of us finding the right answer together" but more on "you've had your chance and tried your strategies, now it's our turn so quit harassing us". Just because they're not the first to make that mistake does not mean that it's a good thing. It just means that the country has fully survived and learned from prior far-left-wing and far-right-wing governments, and it will survive this one too! This is not the death knell for business, nor for the United States of America. Far from it.
Which always reminds me of one of the sources of my optimism: government can only do what its citizens will permit. In the end, the government will reflect the quality of its citizen participation and oversight. So we can change things, in both the short- and long-term. This is not physics... there are no hard limits, no unbreakable natural laws, nothing cast in stone. We can do, whatever we have sufficient will to do.
