It sounds like they did, or are planning to do, the right thing which is simply to say thank you.
And if the opportunity arises, look for something nice you could do for them.
For many years I had a very right wing neighbor. About 2 years ago they sold and moved away
after living there for probably at least 25 years, maybe 30. He was a super nice guy who
would always be helpful when I had a minor emergency around the house. We both understood
we were on opposite sides of a political fence but it never prevented us from being cordial.
I think his wife particularly had some loony beliefs akin to an earlier version of Q.
But they were never nasty about it. I could have had worse neighbors.
For about 20 years - when we used to use paper ballots and punch-card machines - I used to be the chief Democratic judge in my precinct at the elections. We had to have an equal number of Republican judges - including a chief Republican judge. We all got along famously, and it really never occurred to me to have a bad thought about my Republican counterpart. I had nothing but respect for her and I can't remember having an argument with her. Nowadayz, I have a much harder time seeing those kind of relationships happening. Some say things were always this contentious between people of different parties, but... they really weren't from my recollections.
