Yeah. The general consensus is that it frightens voters to risk a change in the middle of a crisis. It's just that Trump (and the Republicans) have handled this pandemic is an utterly abysmal fashion, either by openly refusing to implement any sort of plan to combat the virus (because the optics of the economy is more important than human life), or refusing to pass a substantial relief bill for suffering Americans because ultimately, they don't want to spend that money and it's easy to blame the House Democrats despite Republican stonewalling across the board.

The real problem Trump has is that he's an incompetent conman who thinks that because President Obama handed him an upswinging economy, he's this brilliant politician. And worse than that, Trump's voters saw how sloppily he behaved in all aspects of the job for three years (not to mention the 2015-2016 campaign), yet constantly called Dems alarmists when we predicted EXACTLY how his dumb ass would react to a genuine crisis when the country wasn't running on autopilot for him anymore.

The Republicans are not acting out of character. This is not some bizarre and unexpected scenario in which they were just caught off-guard. Trump himself might be uniquely incompetent, and his penchant for tweeting nonsense to exacerbate bad situations doesn't help matters, but for the rest of the party, this is how they've been since the seventies. The pain that red states are feeling from COVID-19 or from the complete lack of care regarding a stimulus package? That's boilerplate for the GOP. It's just that for once, the Republican voters are feeling the negative effects of the party that they back and suddenly realize how the GOP is at actual governance.
