It was a "credible attempt to overthrow the government" as this was the CLEARLY STATED intent and aim of the insurgents in this walk on the Capitol, regardless of their stupidity and delusions. You equally can say the same of any crackpot attempting to stage a coup on his own with toy guns. The strategic effectiveness of any coup attempt is insignificant criteria to designate it as an "attempt to overthrow" or not.
