I think people are saying yes because there is a lot of lying in general in the film, but there's no actual gaslighting, in the traditional sense

Not really, but the kidnapping scene isn't fun to watch, and later the kidnappers laugh at her struggling to run with a bag over her head. Could be triggering.

i never saw any implication that the villains did this to the victim at all. so either it's not actually there or it's very very subtle

a fair amount of blood but no gore. yes someone is put through a wood chipper but you just see a splatter of bloodstain on the snow. and blood from gunshots but no gaping wounds. so it's all implicit

Depends on your definition of copaganda. The Coen brothers are not trying to push a pro-cop message- that's not the point of the film, so I would argue it's technically not propagana.
However, all the cops in the film are kind, honest people.

multiple characters die, nothing too graphic is shown but you do see the bodies often with blood around them. one famous scene where a dead body is fed into a wood chipper. all you see is a leg sticking out one end and and a big pool of blood by the other end.
