ramming something down someone's throat
Pushing views relentlessly
To ram something down someone's throat is to force them to accept or consider it repeatedly and aggressively, whether they want to or not.
The expression usually describes unwelcome ideas, beliefs, or information pushed with excessive insistence: I'm tired of them ramming their opinions down my throat.
The image is of forced feeding—something shoved in without consent.
