I'm 50% liberal myself, but it's mostly politically and governing terms. If you're a cool and nice person then I would like you regardless if you're liberal or conservative.
This seems to be one more like an irony of fate than anything, but my wife was a Liberal... Yes, she later somewhat changed her mind about that and it had little to do with me, but - you get the idea - I can't say I intrinsically dislike Liberal individuals.
When we speak about Liberalism, it's important to set in advance what kind of Liberalism we will talk about. I, for example, agree with many aspects of some kinds of Liberalism, I could point out the Swedish Liberalism and how it created a really impressive country with very fine social policies before being replaced and ruined by American Liberalism, which only benefits the rich individuals who get away with all kinds of crimes while the population are busy with bread and circuses (now it's porn, sports, TV and alternative lifestyles, these are the new opium of the people) and got diverted from the real issues because the political narrative in their countries is framed towards bullshit like "unisex bathrooms", "White privilege", "diversity" and sterile ideas like these.
I confess, I really hate American Liberalism and almost everything it stands for today. Eastern Europe paid a high price for opening its countries to those cursed hordes in the 1990s, the American elites' Liberalism only brings chaos wherever it goes.
I lean mostly left, but I hate that saying so makes people assume I like must of what the party has done in recent years. You can be pro choice and and believe that our public school system needs to be funded and think that everyone should have access to healthcare and that a for-profit medical industry is completely inhumane, without supporting the corrupt DNC and DCCC and lament that our two party system is broken.
I don't hate anyone for having a different take on an issue if they're willing to discuss it respectfully. I don't like people who put party before country though, and use childish terms like "rethuglicans" and "libtards" to dismiss half the country, blaming every problem the world faces on the opposition party.
I actually feel for real conservatives. The Trumpist regime is a far cry from what it was supposed to mean to be conservative, in exactly the same way that the Democratic party has become corrupt and ineffective in promoting ethical progressive ideals that serve our country's people.

Lol... what are you trying to say with that pic? haha
Honestly, I do see myself as a liberal, but not for the reasons you may think. I'm liberal because I am willing to question tradition, not because I agree with modern liberal policies.
"Undocumented immigrants", gun control and gun-free zones, feminist SJWs, shit like this, I do NOT support. I've been liberal my whole life, but I've found myself agreeing more and more with conservatives because it seems like liberalism in America is getting worse and worse.
We need more liberals like Shoe0nHead and Amazing Atheist, and less liberals like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
But in answer to your question, I dislike SJWs, not other sensible liberals like me.
