Rephrasing: No, one can agree that it was a protest gone bad - turning into a riot - in an even more clear-eyed and neutral way. The emotional response is the "insurrection", "traitor" and other stuff.

You're part way there. You need to include all of the scheming from the President, his advisors and out and down. To use your words, the "riot" was a cover to stopping the electoral count, which may have resulted in Pence changing his mind, or in the election being thrown into the House. don't limit your view to just the "riot" as you seem to be doing.

Just consider that every time someone says insurrection they mean insurrectionist elements, which may be may be 3 dozen - we don't know right now. So a reasonable person could conclude that there were rioters and insurrectionists there with varying degrees of culpability. You need to include all of the scheme(s) to get a better overall picture.
