Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL, or perhaps, the Jurassic Age) is running for governor of Alabama. One of the planks of his platform is that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.” He can’t believe that his Democratic opponent is calling him out on this. Judging by what he writes Tuberville wants to just end Social Security period. He doesn’t suggest any phaseout or transition to something else.
Well now, Tuberville calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme. Strangely, Ponzi schemes might actually be something Tuberville knows about https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/05/us/politics/tommy-tuberville-senate-hedge-fund.html

To answer your question: because Alabama’s voters are primarily racist, uneducated, inbred rednecks whose behavior at the polls is limited to mindlessly filling in any bubbles with an R next to them.
