I see, I appreciate the clarification.

I don't think peaceful protestors should be bothered. I've also seen some news reports about how people are being rounded up by the police for their social media posts over there but I'm not sure how accurate or prevalent that is. The global news coverage we see here is so heavily spun one direction or another it's hard to trust. My impression of England, and most of Western Europe, was always one of cultural acceptance and harmony—or at least much greater than we have here in America.

Regarding what traditional Republicans think...it seems like a majority of politicians on both sides have thrown their moral compasses out the window, quite honestly. Their only allegiance is to the one with the power to affect their personal political/financial futures. There are a few who still try to do the right thing but those in power threaten to "primary" them (kill their chances of re-election) so they just end up towing the party line.
