Partly it’s her ebullience. She seems upbeat and sunny, and this bothers their sour faces.

Their terrified of her because the last time and smart, ambitious, and attractive democrat came onto the national political scene the conservatives were out of power for 8 years. They consider her a huge threat for that reason only.
Probably the same thing that was behind the lefts obsession with Sarah Palin.

She's brown-skinned, young and says sensible things. Of course the Right fears and hates her.

The chick is hot and looks happy.
She was probably a great bar tender.

She is Trump-like in her lack of understanding that enacting policy (making federal laws) actually requires details and procedural steps. After all, she has stated that once she is "inaugurated" then she would "sign bills" the next day.
Unlike they treat Trump, the MSM either ignores her general naivety and playing fast and loose with 'facts' or actually praises those traits.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a symbol of everything conservatives and possibly even liberals despise. She's new to the 'game', she's young, Latina, ambitious and eager to effect some progressive ideas into a staunchly stagnant Congress. Because of her impatience to make change, those of the old guard in Congress will view her as displaying too much 'Latinatude' and feel threatened sensing that she's trying to muscle into their inner circle. They're going to resist it.
She's setting a big agenda for herself. Rather than worrying about expanding the Democratic majority in the House two years from now or taking back the Senate, the newly elected socialist from New York has a different target in mind. She’s heading up a new coalition aimed at removing more Democrats in the next round of primaries and replacing them with more “diverse” candidates.
Personally, I'm not aboard the Ocasio-Cortez train. Her ambitious ideology is going to put her in a bad spot with both conservatives and liberals since she's trying to change Washington too rapidly. They see her as overly ambitious and she's not even sworn in yet. She's completely inexperienced as to the ways of Washington politics. Some will see that as refreshing and some will see that as challenging their own status. She's not going to concern herself with the prospect of waging war within her own party and because of that her best efforts will be thwarted. She's going to have to get some experience in politics under her belt and back off just a bit and work with her party, not against it if she's ever going to be taken seriously.
It's because she is all of those things and charmingly naive.

What is different about it?
Maybe the "right" is "obsessed" with Ms. Alexandria because the "right" is shocked that there are enough (presumably) citizens who would vote for such a silly individual.
Maybe the "right" is downright depressed that maybe our country will soon be full of people like Ms. Alexandria in important elected positions.
Liberals thought Palin’s battiness and ignorance were a danger. Alexandria is neither batty or ignorant
