That "theory" is just bonkers. But in the land of echoes and obedience that is trumptardia, original thought is highly frowned upon.
If you apply even a moments thought to this ridiculous claim, it completely crumbles.

Technically, it's more rational thought than original thought. You have to admit, thinking that Antifa groups are willing to try and completely bollix up the peaceful transition of power (and one that was going in a way they would seemingly have wanted it to go), not only pretend to be far-right, but infiltrate the movement deeply enough that they can make it look like several prominent right-wingers UP TO AND INCLUDING TRUMP HIMSELF were in on the plan is a pretty original thought.

Right-wing U.S. media covered fiction as fact: A non-existent terrorist attack from Canada at Rainbow Bridge
There was no attack from Canada; the incident occurred entirely on U.S. soil; in fact, authorities don't believe it was a terrorist attack at all.
That didn't stop a candidate for president of the United States from appearing on Fox News to promote an aspect of his platform: Building a border wall with Canada.
"I have been sounding the alarm bell about the northern border for a long time," said Vivek Ramaswamy during a lengthy interview about an incident he did not witness, was not a subject-matter expert on, and had no insight into.
Meanwhile, on social media, far-right Arizona politician Kari Lake called this a terrorist attack caused by Joe Biden's open border policies. Sen. Ted Cruz also called it a terrorist attack.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

At least it’s something that happened. Remember the Bowling Green massacre? The one Kellyanne Conway talked about like it was a thing that actually happened even though it wasn’t?

This sounds like something I might say if I felt like doing something particularly edgy with my pocketknives. But then again, I’d probably take the time to reference some obscure film.

Quote:Former state department official who made Islamophobic comments to vendor arrested for hate crime
Mohammed Hussein, 24, was back to work at the Q Halal Cart grill on Wednesday on the corner of Second Avenue and East 83rd Street, with lines of customers queuing for food in a sign of support.
Hussein has said he is still shaken by the encounters with Stuart Seldowitz, 64, who repeatedly harassed him with Islamophobic invective. Seldowitz called Hussein a “terrorist”, said 4,000 dead Palestinian children in Gaza “wasn’t enough”, called the Prophet Muhammad a “rapist” and told the vendor he’d be tortured “when they deport you back to Egypt”.
The vendor repeatedly asked Seldowitz to leave him alone in the clips, to which Seldowitz was filmed replying: “Why should I go. Why should I go? Tell me why I should go? I’m standing here. I am an American. It’s a free country.”
Seldowitz was arrested and charged at the 19th precinct on the Upper East Side on Wednesday with one count of aggravated harassment of race or religion and four counts of stalking as a hate crime.
