UPDATE: In a striking Christmas letter, Larry Moore of Valencia has publicly extended forgiveness to critics of former President Donald Trump, citing what he describes as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a compelling affliction affecting many Americans. This letter, submitted to The Signal, has sparked immediate discussions across social media platforms.
Moore argues that TDS, which he claims is a scientifically diagnosed condition, compels individuals, particularly those on the left, to propagate misinformation about Trump and his administration. He specifically addresses noted critics including Gary Horton, Jonathan Kraut, Lois Eisenberg, and Andrew Taban, stating, “You all have submitted articles that were nothing but half-truths and lies.”
In his heartfelt message, Moore expresses compassion rather than derision, urging readers to recognize the struggles faced by those he believes are afflicted by TDS. He states, “For saying President Trump is a threat to democracy, which you know is a blatant lie, I forgive you.” This declaration not only reflects his personal sentiments but also serves to highlight the divisive political climate leading into 2024.
Moore’s letter outlines several specific accusations against Trump’s critics, including false claims about immigration enforcement and military actions. He emphasizes the emotional toll of partisan media consumption, stating, “For watching Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Morning Joe to stay informed, I am truly sorry for you and I forgive you.”
The timing of this letter, just weeks before the New Year, adds an urgent dimension to Moore’s message. He expresses hope that scientific advancements will one day provide a “cure” for TDS, envisioning a brighter future for those who he believes are affected. “2026 would be a much brighter year for you,” he concludes, wishing his critics a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
As discussions around political rhetoric and media representation heat up, Moore’s letter serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions within American political discourse. The content is already generating significant attention online, with many users sharing their reactions on platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
With political polarization at an all-time high, Moore’s appeal for understanding and forgiveness resonates with many seeking a more compassionate dialogue during the holiday season. The evolving conversation around TDS and its implications for public discourse will be closely monitored as we approach the new year.
