This tactic is related to the well-known abuse termed “loaded questioning.” The difference is that you describe a presupposition embedded in an enticement, whereas the “loaded question” puts the presupposition in a threat. Enticement tricks the 2nd party into accepting the presupposition; threat tricks a third party (via the “fundamental error of attribution,” entailing discounting the situation and augmenting the influence of the actor) into accepting that the second party accepts the presupposition.
Embedding the presupposition in a threat doesn’t work to get the 2nd party to accept the presupposition; embedding the presupposition in an enticement does. This is because threat, (in construal-level theory) induces “near” thinking; enticement induces “far” thinking—DISembedding being a “near” operation. So, this dark tactic works best when the persuader induces a “far” mentality by other means, too.
