1) He won because enough people decided to roll the dice on him over Hillary, Putin most certainly helped to spread *pick a thing that helped out trump* but it was not some stolen or rigged or w/e election. I still believe had trump even had a passing care about covid, and didn't shut the lights off like a baby backed bitch and then blast people out of the way for the most awkward and tone deaf photo op in recent memory he could've won in 2020. But he failed to actually fix anything, constantly chose to poke people in the eye, and his movement constantly over time loses people, not gains as they eat their own, and when he did do that photo op crap you could just feel the mood go from "eh" to "eff this I'm done" amongst people who don't even care.
2) Don't know don't care, it's a but her emails redux
3) See #1
4) It was most certainly a strike a trying to overturn the election and/or direct scare tactic at the government, a coup is probably too strong of a term, but it's a Cataline Conspiracy level "let's stir the pot and see what happens". It was the velociraptor testing the fences directly egged on by trump to try and make it look like he was trying do something. I personally find it funny that making fun of #blueanon for #1 and #3 somehow doesn't level with the holy crap storm of #4, but dax gonna dax.
5) They certainly don't help, I don't think "white supremacists'" are the greatest threat, but the tactics that are held within the party that protects them of voter suppression, extreme gerrymandering, and doing whatever "to own the libs" pulls the rug from under even themselves. America is divided because the system we have basically ensures it will be so, and it ain't "the media" or "the swamp" or "white supremacists" but simply the logical conclusion of having fairly undemocratic devices baked into the constitution
6) Agree w/ Trim, it's pretty easy to see bullshit
7) You mean like what I hear alex jones/fox/oan/trump/the dudes on the floor of senate trying to deny certification of the election that day/et al do themselves? I'm shocked to find gambling in this establishment, shocked
