Gotta run.  Ai had an interesting take on your question 

So what might Republicans and Democrats say about hyperbole?

Republican View (Generalized)

  • Pragmatic exaggeration: Many conservatives embrace "truthful hyperbole" as a legitimate rhetorical style. A famous example is Donald Trump’s own term—coined by his ghostwriter in The Art of the Deal—to describe exaggeration used to emphasize or persuade rather than deceive Wikipedia+1.

  • Cultural flair: This style is also rooted in a broader tradition within conservative media and politics—using bold, dramatic rhetoric to captivate audiences or make a point stick WikipediaThe Times of Israel.

Democratic View (Generalized)

  • Caution against overuse: Democrats often criticize the use of hyperbole in public discourse, especially when it veers into misinformation or defamation. While hyperbole per se isn’t inherently false, when politicians overstate to the point of misleading, many Democrats raise concerns about truthfulness in civic debate.

  • Push for factual clarity: There's typically a stronger emphasis on grounding statements in accuracy and nuance—especially amid concerns over misinformation and "alternative truths"

I said I already have my opinion, I didn’t want to influence anyone’s answer.

What I was most surprised in the other debate I had about this was that it was even a debate at all, I thought the answer was obvious.

By definition, hyperbolic statements aren't true or meant to be taken as such. 

My guess is this thread will be full of a million examples of things that aren't hyperbole being presented as hyperbole.

Literally every time I see an overweight neck beard incel ranting about the "evil republicans" I think to myself, I wonder if that is RV in the flesh.
