Drop the word "armed" and I agree that's the narrative for me. I do realize some of them did have guns, etc., most were not armed, but it did become violent. That it was an insurrection there is no doubt. History will write it as an insurrection fomented by Trump with some traitors, that didn't have much of a chance of succeeding, but could have. Some people don't want to recognize that it was an insurrection. That's an emotional problem. Any clear eyed view of the event realizes the intent was there to stop the peaceful transition of power. There can be good faith disagreements on parts of it, but not on the overall idea that there was an insurrection going on.
No, one can agree that it was a riot gone bad even an even more clear-eyed and neutral way. The emotional response is the "insurrection", "traitor" and other stuff.
