Yes, I agree that some of the (proximate) strategic aims of Daesh and conservatives overlap. I would simply add that you can make similar connections for people on the other side of the political fence. If Reagan was partially responsible for Al Qaeda, and Bush(1&2) destabilised the region by toppling Hussein, well we should probably also recall that those on the left have also shown questionable judgment with support for the revolution in Iran, naive expectations about the Arab Spring, materiel support for the revolt against Assad, and so on.
