No, it's a version of (A). Occam's Razor. You have to realize the Deep State handlers are as loony as their puppets. They are not operating with a full deck and are oblivious to symbology that will clash with the psyches of normal people. It will not go well, and they will blame the usual targets with increased vehemence. It is psychodrama, not ideology.

Why you might think the handlers are fully rational people is beyond me. There is no evidence for that.
