Oh it's not just centrists. Hard to say that when Republicans have controlled the government for prolonged periods, but Democrats have continually shifted to the right since the 80s and adopted what would have been considered moderate Republican economic policies (e.g. policies that favour corporations and the already wealthy at the expense of low-income and working-class Americans), which have contributed to many of the problems that many Americans are frustrated with.
The Republicans have smartly been able to use people's pre-existing prejudices to misdirect the anger many Americans have, which should be aimed at their government, towards immigrants, various minority groups, social programs, etc., but that doesn't mean the initial source of that anger isn't justified.
Calling all Trump supporters and Biden dissenters racists, Russian assests, etc., is the MSNBC equivalent of Fox News calling all Democrats socialist. It's simplistic, partisan pablum.
