A more real scenario.

European country bans far right candidate with conections with Russia trying to poison their democracy.

Le centrists: What about muh freedoms!?.

US Government forces Universities campuses to remove degrees of students for protesting (by threatening cutting funds) and threatens foreign students with deportation if they protest.

Edit: Just read the news that an University caved to Trump's demands to be able to get funds. Among the demands is for police to be able to arrest students.

Le centrists: Well they were asking for it...

European countries haven't banned the far right, the AFD, Sweden Democrats, Front Nationale, Orban, etc. are not banned and they are the results of their own political failings. Not that Putin magically conjured them forth with a wave of the hand. Playing into the meme... Germans do anti-semitism and fascism Germanly... "what are we, a bunch of Russians!"

The most popular romanian fascist candidate (who allegedly was supported by Russia) has been banned

But only after it no longer was 'allegedly' if I understand correctly.

The media went real quiet when it turned out not to be Russia.
Looks like it worked to fool some gullible people and simply leave them with the wrong culprit, but the right one to fit the narrative.

Centrists in the EU don't think like that at all. Centrists can hold strong opinions, their position isn't just do not pick sides and play devil's advocate at all times. As a centrist, both scenarios boil my piss.

You've just described two extreme situations, that any centrist would instantly notice are extreme.

Define centrism.
