As such while Republicans might not traditionally 'do protests' so much I'd have thought it in everyones best interest for them to have a presence and disassociate themselves from these asshats.
PS - You might not think it 'brave' but having been at a few anti-Trump protests where we stood with frothing people in red Trump hates yelling obscenities at us from 5 yards away I think it is, I know that I get somewhat nervous before attending such protests ... and they're nothing like what I've seen from the march at the weekend, I never feared for my life at them.

Hmm, I admit I am exactly that Republican who doesn't protest, so I have not yet participated in an anti-Trump protest. I do know there are potential conflcts, but I didn't know it was that bad.
That said, I don't think if I were to somehow display I was a registered Repuican that it would put me in any more danger than the others there. From what you say, it seems like it would be brave for any to attend.
