Certainly. But I tend to think of exaggerations as statements that are partly false.

"Democrats want to ban everything remotely religious from the public sphere" is an exaggeration because it's not completely true (far from it), and it can't be reasonably backed up, so it's a scare tactic.

I'm analyzing my idea of scare tactics as this goes along, to see if it makes complete sense, so I appreciate the criticism.
