Sort of. But also a totally different situation because it's possible in a representative system to not have a coalition government, and Germany had a legal provision to name a chancellor. The extralegal action by the brownshirts pushed hard enough for the legal step of naming Hitler chancellor, and then from that step came a woeful set of legal and extralegal steps.
Just saying that the main "crisis" there was not being able to form a government for a long time, which is irrelevant here, and we don't have any similar step to naming a Chancellor that is even possible. So we do have some protection from those circumstances.
