ram something down someone's throat
Impose views aggressively
To ram something down someone's throat is to force them to accept or listen to something repeatedly, whether they want to or not.
The expression usually describes aggressive promotion of ideas, beliefs, or opinions: I don't mind vegetarians, but don't ram it down my throat.
The image is of force-feeding—making someone swallow what they'd rather reject.
