Thank you for this. I've wondered for some time about the almost visceral reaction that AOC generates both right and left, male and female. I read a few weeks back "How Emotions Are Made" by Lisa Feldman Barrett. It opened. It is against the the background of the "theory of constructed emotions" that I read this.(albeit filtered through my novice understanding of the concept and process). AOC is assuredly pretty and smart through the lens of my own perspective. She does not, however, evoke an emotional response in me. Or at least one that I can identify. What I do respond to is the response she evokes in others. Why..... yours is helpful. Thank you.
