Yes, people tend to think in black and white, going from one extreme to the other. But reality is much more nuanced.

It's important that democracies learn from crises. Even the current crisis in the US is leading to an important public discussion between the parties, which will lead to better mutual understanding.

At the same time, dictatorial regimes tend to exacerbate crises by creating another one to cover up the causes of the previous one.
