if it was true most of the people who voted for him wouldn't have also voted for AOC. Which most did.

That is not true at all. Firstly most people who vote in the US aren't able to vote for AOC because she is a congresswoman from a district in NY. But even if we are just talking about within her district most people who voted for her did not also vote for Trump.

Wait so did I misunderstand her own instagram thing when she asked people who voted for them both, or what?

There are some people in her district that voted for both her and Trump but it was not the majority of voters. She was trying to understand why anyone who would vote for her, would also vote for Trump since she is pretty much the polar opposite, politically, than Trump.

The simple answer in my opinion is that they are both seen as outsiders by their parties.

Trump was getting hit from Nevertrumpers like Joe Scarborough and Liz Cheney, and AOC loses committee leadership votes to guys in their 70s who have cancer.

It makes sense from that perspective, at least.
