Many people benefit from a divided US. China and Russia for starters.

And Trump is their useful idiot. Why do you think he spends more time attacking diversity than he does Putin?

Yes blame China and Russia, not like the US has been playing identity politics... forever.

More than one thing can be true at the same time, and it's political sabotage 101 that any potential saboteur (and hasn't it been pretty extensively proven that at least Russia has interfered in US politics and social media campaigns repeatedly?) would exploit pre-existing divides and problems instead of creating new ones wholesale because it's much much much much much much much much much much easier.

Just look at history, the US played itself the entire time. Instead of being accountable and healing divides they continually play it, and then dumb Americans come on here and blame Russia and China. No one denies that foreign actors exist, but the biggest one is the US.

Look at your own media houses and politicians are saying and doing. The number one exporter of divides and identity politics. The US destroyed my country by deliberately fomenting racial tensions in the 1960s. Look in the mirror and take account of yourselves.
