Biden held an antiquated way of approaching politics. That is over, this is a new era. Social media has totally changed how politics will work for the main stream public. The dems have a lot to learn, the old ways of getting things done are gone.
This is still not abnormal at all. The federal government does not have to enforce federal laws. For instance, Obama directed the DoJ to not enforce federal drug possession for marijuana in states that legalize it. The Comstock Act is almost uniformly ignored, etc.

It's another thing for the country to just act like a proposed executive order can override a law passed by Congress, signed by the president.
