I don't think she was groomed into this.  I think this is more a side effect of stochastic terrorism.  Where the messages used to encourage terrorism,  6   viole  ffa  nce acts create plausible deniability for the broadcaster.  CNN just says things like "Not my president" and shows images of violence to create a message of "assassinate" a mentally sick person might act on.    AOC has clearly been bombarded with all the democrat's messages.  And she internalized them, she is peak democrat signal.  Essentially she is their ideal voter, because her world view is founded on democrat talking points.  But as an elected official she is ripping them apart. She is revealing both how impractical their stance is and how little they actually believe their own words.  She also likely prioritizes based on how strong those talking point signals are, so if say she has to pick abortion or climate change she will pick the one the liberal public is most likely to agree with.  And not the one that is of greatest benefit to the party, creating a political rift. I hope she gets reelected.  But I expect her to be assassinated by Democrats, Hillary, China or Israel.
