I think it is that as well as the media told them that Trump can't win because Trump is Literal Hitler and there's no way America is Evil Enough to elect Literal Hitler.
I attend one of the more conservative and "respectability culture" universities in the country (though it is in the Pac NW, so it can't be that conservative), and we had protest marches the night Trump won. There has since been a surprising amount of crybabying to the administration, students claiming oppression and whatever bullshit. Even though I don't know the exact story, signs are pointing to a dude in one of my classes getting expelled because of an altercation the night of the election. So many people here are shocked. Why? Maybe because they've been hoaxed by the media into thinking Trump is Evil Incarnate, and now they're confronted with the "reality" of their world being Nazi Germany Viet Cong Gulag and don't know how to deal.
