Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s official charged with managing the state’s voting system, has become the one person truly willing to burst Donald Trump’s bubble. Not only has he proclaimed the election in his state free and fair, he has called on Trump and his enablers to stop trying to undo the election in the strongest and most direct language yet.
“This is elections. This is the backbone of democracy, and all of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this. It’s too much.”
With such forceful words, Sterling joins a long line of lone and at first lonely voices who took a risk to step out and speak up against the powerful. If enough people listen and are emboldened to follow, then he, like many resisters over the decades, may help to create a turning point in history.
