It's literally not. They wanted to scare congress into not counting votes. They wanted to scare Mike Pence into not accepting the results.

The law agrees with me. Over 900 people have been charged with insurrection so far, and many convicted of it, by a wide variety of courts including judges Trump appointed. Do you know what "insurrection" means?

You think a group of unarmed people were going to overthrow the entire US government including the military? Do you realize how insane that sounds?

They didn't need to overthrow the military, they just needed to convince Mike Pence not to accept the count and that would have thrown the country into chaos.
