I learned in this video and in this answer that electrons repel from each other by exchanging photons. This makes sense when it comes to electrons, but what happens when two protons or two positrons repel each other? Do positively charged particles also exchange photons?

Yes. Photons are the carriers for the electromagnetic force, regardless of the charges involved.
