Get used to it, that's going to become the new norm anytime there is a congress divided from the White House. As time goes on, the two parties work with each other less and less.
Neither side ever wants to compromise on anything anymore. Yet the public still wants stuff done. So the only thing left is executive orders.
This is a failure of our legislature due to the fact that the electorate on both sides will not tolerate a law maker that will ever compromise on anything. Meaning, the voters are to blame. So when we all stood up and said no more compromise, this is the fruit of that labor.
The unintended consequence is we force the President into making more executive orders, and that gives the president even more power.
So either the electorate grows up and comes to the realization that you can't always have it your way, or we grind our government to a halt.
There is a third option, and the one that will come to pass. We go from the original Constitutional Republic to a de facto Caesarian empire. That will come to pass. From there, either the empire falls from decay within or splits apart via revolution and outside instigated/initiated war.
Roman history continues to shed more and more light on our present and our future.
