Progressivism is the other side of that coin, a belief that we need strong hierarchy with the "right people" at the top to have a functioning society. It's the same basic idea that we either need or deserve strong leadership.
For some reason those two are being pitched at the only valid ideas, probably because those at the top benefit from people believing that. There are other ideas, they just don't have that "quick solution" people seem to crave that only comes from top down control.
Just because one side of the coin is bad doesn't make the other side good. Get a better coin.
