Yes, nearly everyone has some ability to persuade or convince and if someone's ability to persuade or convince causes persons to attempt an overthrow of the government via Coup d'état, then that someone should be charged, tried and if convicted, imprisoned per the law.

However, I do agree with you that "force" was probably "meant" as violent force, but that is not the wording used. Therefore, it is plausible that a proficient lawyer could argue that those in the media, politics et al, used their position of authority to force or otherwise persuade or convince peoples that attempting to overthrow the government of the USA was needed and correct. Just sayin'.
