This article says it was because of racial resentment and they thought Trump would help them economically.
"A white millennial with a high school education and strong perception that whites are losing ground to other groups through no fault of their own was almost certainly a Trump voter."
Well, I think that has changed since the election. Many more millennials are against Trump now, as seen in Virginia and Alabama.
Interesting article.
