      The targets are state capitols, literally political buildings.

          Which government, at the root of everything, is doing something based on political ideology. The people in charge of government change based on politics and those politics drive policies that the government enforces. Ergo, the government is political so threats against it and its entities are terroristic.

            Which government, at the root of everything, is doing something based on political ideology.

            What actions were being taken by the government based on political ideology at the state capitols of Mississippi, Connecticut, Kentucky, Michigan, and Georgia (the email was sent to 23 states in total, but we can pretend it was just the states in this one article for now) that motivated this act of terrorism?

              Anonymous friend, I don’t know because I don’t have access to any of that info. I don’t have the names of people, I don’t know every local law, I don’t know who sent this, I don’t know their political ideology.

              What I do know? Government is run by politics and many decisions are made across political lines. The threat isn’t against the buildings, the threat is against the people inside. The building is just collateral and an easy way to do mass harm and cause fear to those making decisions.
