Bulldozed

Past tense of bulldoze: to push or clear with a bulldozer machine, or to force someone into doing something against their will through intimidation.

From 'bull' (to push aggressively) + 'doze' (possibly from 'dose,' meaning a heavy blow). The verb was coined when bulldozer machinery was invented in the early 20th century and quickly became a metaphor for forcing one's way.
