In NC, they are generally known as ‘Democrats’ and have ruled the state since the 1890’s. Things go haywire when one political organization has power that long. It’s amazing NC isn’t Mexico, given how long one-party rule has lasted here.
Perhaps it’s because there was always a Dixiecrat minority that perhaps restrained the Progressives in the party from really doing their will.

From what my Aunt tells me the area around Sanford is getting pretty close.
