On November 8th America witnessed a moment of history that will be remembered until the end of time. We, millennials, will tell our children and grand-children about the 2016 election, and its outcome.
However, this writing is not about that. This writing is about moving forward. Moving on from an election cycle that completely split the country into two polarizing factions, with each side hating the guts of the other. In fact, you can find a post on this very blog stating disdain for Trump and his supporters, so I am no saint as well.
I’m not here to spread more hate or continue to be divisive, I think that we have had enough of that for the past year and a half. Instead, I’m here to tell you to look for the WILBs today. Look for those keeping their head high, seek out those who continue to laugh and smile in the face of uncertainty and cruelty. WILBs will continue to find the beauty and joy in what can only be classified as: a fucked up and bleak future. WILBs will offer a helping hand to anyone that needs it, and spread love wherever they go.
We cannot continue down this path of vitriol and bile. No one will survive it, and nothing will get accomplished.
To those who feel threatened and scared by what has happened know that WILBs stand by you and will not falter in their support. Looking out for one another is inherent in the creed of WILB. This path that we walk is not traveled alone. WILBs are all around us, we just have to find them.

The Master Wilbologist
