That’s simply not how centrism works. Centrism is not and has never been about nonviolence. It has been about viewing the two major factions in the U.S. as the same or similar, and honestly trying to view or portray oneself as superior to both. Nonviolence can be used for such purposes but is not required.
I used to be a centrist and know many more than you. I’ve dealt with this crap for decades. I know more about it than you do. I’ve rolled with both factions, and there are many centrists who feel the way they do without the nonviolence. Just because you are a centrist and nonviolent doesn’t mean all centrists have to be nonviolent to be a centrist… but that self - centered way of thinking on your part shows centrism is largely about feeling superior to others.

So the issue is you have no idea what centrism means.
The issue is you think centrism means being like you when it is anything but.
