The literal definition of sedition [1] is:

  If two or more persons [...] conspire [...] to prevent, hinder, or delay the
  execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or
  possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof
1. Do you deny that the Capitol building was breached by force?

2. Do you deny that Congress was in session at this time?

3. Do you deny that the breach of the Capitol hindered the Congress's ability to certify vote totals for the presidential election?

If the answer to all three of those is "no", then we are literally talking about sedition.

Does seem to apply. Also appears that this sedition law applies to the perpetrators every statue owned by the government that was torn down as well. So we can officially call them seditionists now.

You refuse to acknowledge that sedition actually occurred, choosing instead to worry over a theoretical slippery slope of censorship that somehow ends the United States.

QED. Safe to say we're done here.
