Actually, no.

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States

"Conspire to Overthrow" does not require force.

No, it does not require force. It certainly may include force as a method but does not require it.

But admittedly, insurrection is less murky. Trying to explain the various definitions and kinds of force to a jury would be a chore.
