It's hard to blame the Tea Party and Trump for something that various groups around the planet have been participating in since Biblical times.
However, since conservative politicians have been key in destabilizing large portions of the world and creating fertile breeding ground for extremist groups to take hold (the Taliban under Reagan and ISIS under GWB), you can still make a case for their blame. You just have to look further back in history than the past election cycle.
