I had it up for a few minutes and the profile pic fit the description. It was being overwhelmed with hate.

That means they were outing themselves.

as one of his likes on Facebook so I wasn't sure. In general his Facebook likes are pretty neutral:

Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?"
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
I guess there are different ways to interpret that.

See page 3.
Daddy dearest with no public service experience (only listening to his small business customers bitching and moaning) thought he could do better for Highland Park than her.
See page 3.
Nancy Rotering is the first female mayor of Highland Park, a position she has held since 2011. She has been a
leader in inclusive government, making sure that every resident has a voice.
As Mayor, Nancy enacted tough reforms, balanced consecutive budgets, and maintained a Aaa bond rating something only a handful of Illinois municipalities have done.
Nancy led the passage of one of the nations first local assault weapons bans and fought the NRA all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Nancy understands the challenges families face. She has fought to make the city and schools more responsive to resident concerns.
Nancys dedication to public service spans decades. Nancy founded the Highland Park-Highwood Legal Aid Clinic, a not-for-profit, providing free legal services to those in need. She was elected to the Highland Park City Council and has served as a member of the Highland Park Plan Commission and Environmental Commission.
