How to answer a loaded question

“Why are millennials so lazy?” “Have you stopped hitting your pet?” “Will you still vote for this stupid politician?”

These are few examples of a loaded question. Such questions are ’loaded’ with an unjustified presupposition and it tricks you into answering in favour of the person questioning.

The above questions assume that millennials are lazy, you hit your pet and the politician (in question) is stupid.

And that’s the trap to avoid.
