People love to insist she was grown in a CIA lab to be a bartender or whatever, but I think AOC’s behavioral evolution is pretty much what you’d expect from a normie DSA lib who’s spent every waking hour for most of the last decade in an isolated bubble composed entirely of the worst people alive. The more time people spend in the imperial congress, the more they can’t help but start to see other congresspeople as their only peers and normal people as a vague abstract mass that can only be understood through op-eds, poll divination, and campaign strategists.
