Fascists are showing up with guns and threatening politicians.

    I mean that guy seemed pretty unwell. I was expecting him to come off as way more frothingfash

    from a diff article:

    In a podcast posted Tuesday, a man who identified himself with the same name and birthdate as the alleged gunman said he was in Madison and, in speech filled with profanity, said he would burn down the system ''with love'' because it is corrupt. The man complained about how he had been treated by the courts and spoke about illegally selling weapons, working in gun stores with explosives and machine guns, attempting suicide and dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. He also said he wanted to keep living.

    not that random likely very right wing gun nuts deserve this much benefit of the doubt but he doesnt seem very ideological, and if that was actually him attempting to go after the governor not "protect himself" from ppl that the police won't as he claims, that'd be even more evidence that he's unwell in my book
