I see quite a lot of anger, resentment, and even talk of violence here on FR and it saddens my heart. And I am aware that there are other places on the internet (that I would not venture) that are a good deal worse. While reflecting on this, these words of Jesus came to my mind:
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Laugh ...
What do you exactly mean by, “what to do with liberal neighbors?”
“And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.”
Luke 10:30-37 KJV

Ignore attempts to bait or provoke you, unless it’s that uncommon Lib with a sense of humor, OR
unless you have been provoked to the point of self defense.
I think you answered your question when you quoted Matthew 22:38. It is hard but we are commanded to do it.
It took them months to figure it out.
THEN, their savior POTUS Plugs said on 12-24-21 that he approves of it..."Let's Go Brandon, I agree."
Treat them as you would any other sick individual.
Our closest neighbor is close to a mile away. We live in rural rural Appalachia.
Yes,
We should pity them as
Mind numbed Robots that
May do violence.
Buy a nice bottle of Trump wine and invite them over.
Love - Pray for them, wish them well. Doesn’t mean we have to “feel” love for them. When Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us, He’s telling us we’re gonna have enemies.
light a bag of dog dooty on fire and ring their door bell

Heh! Well then I guess you have a license to be an arse to everyone. Lucky you! ;-)

It is hard to do it, but maybe it is even harder not to do it.
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Matthew 10:14
We stay away from baby killers.
