The attack on the capitol was just a small piece of the coup. It was a delay/scare/chaos tactic to use the alternative electoral certificates. There is no doubt or subjective interpretation here, this was a coup attempt, and there is a long trail of evidence due to the many layers of government they had to go through to make it happen.

It is past time caring how the members of this hostile faction are calling and interpreting it. They’ve been denying their intentions, crimes, and reality for a god-damned long time. They’re even denying the weather of the day. You’re right, and don’t dignify their rebranding with a response, just call it what it is.
