This all has remarkable parallels from the Anschluss between Germany and Austria in the 20s and 30s. There was support for it in the 20s, but Hitler said Austria should join with Germany and how wonderful it would be. He used agents to influence pro-unification. Some Austrians agreed, and even tried an coup to overthrow the government and join with Germany.
In 1938 Austria was finally bullied into holding a referendum, but it looked like the outcome would be against unification. Hitler marched his armies in to Austria less than 24 hours before the referendum and annexed the country.
It was 5 years after he rose to power in 1933.

Even if the pattern were laid out properly there's no way it's "perfect". There would be slight differences in height, alignments, etc. It comes down to a matter of how close you look, but it will never be flawless.
Imagine the ego on someone like that who thinks their work would even come close to the supreme creator of the universe's level. They either think they're far more skilled than they are, or that their deity is far more flawed. Either way it's nonsense.
And the tariffs.
And threatening to annex us.
It's not just ICE.
