Just because they weren't armed doesn't mean it wasn't an insurrection. Republican leadership (McConnell) have used that term to describe it. They disrupted an important session to say something they thought was important, bringing tactical gear that would not be appropriate for a protest. What exactly were they protesting, while milling about in the Capitol building with several in-groups looking for political leaders to capture?
Oh, right - they were protesting a free and fair election that they lost. Their evidence was 100% baseless conspiracy theories - except in the rare case when fraud was found, it was found to be fraud in favor of their ticket (and extraordinarily limited in scope).
JFC, if you can't see that 6Jan was a bad thing for democracy, I don't think there's much more to discuss. I, for one, am excited for every day those assholes spend in prison and believe their coordination should be used as evidence of a coordinated attack on the US' legitimately elected government.
