As simple as it seems, the answer is not as simple. A patriot is someone that has an emotional binding with a nation. This could be a emotional binding to the past of a ntaion, to the present of a nation or to a specific future ofe a nation. Or towards a mythos around a nation. So maby they are patriots for the US of white supremacy. But probably they are not patriotic towards a libertarian US or an egalitarian state. But they are definitly acting against state laws and human rights of the people they attacked. And most of those state laws are at least based on representants which are elected through popular vote. So I would say they are no patriots towards the contemporal USA of when the storm on the capitol happened. Since their action is a direct attack on popular voting systems. And on the idea, that everyones vote should count the same.
