Those protests mostly fizzled out with a week or two of the election results (even before all state results were certified).

"Disrupted confirmation hearings" seems fairly different to me from "smashed windows and doors to gain entrance to the US Capitol while hundreds of people chanted "Hang Mike Pence!".
