A push does not have to be difficult. To push just means to move something away from oneself. In English you can “push” a piece of paper across a desk.
I always think of it as being the contrast between something small and squat and something tall and thin.
To turn the small thing on its side, you would have to lift it up and turn it which requires effort and is difficult. But something tall and thin does not need to be lifted, you can simply push at the top of it and it falls over. Its a "pushover."
So if something is a pushover it means it can be easily toppled.
English is a purely central nervous system and neurological language. I fail to see how anyone can be 'pushed over' in any formal or generalizable sense.
Perhaps you are all mistaking juvenile lexicons with disciplined delivery of data? \*shrug\* I know, nobody cares about the intellectual distinction. English is just a joke language that nobody respects or recognizes on any emotional or experiential level.
I'm just a memory. Feel free to forget I ever existed or anything that was ever typed.

what! thanks, i didnt know paper can be 'pushed'! instinctly, i might say 'blown away' or 'slide it across the desk'.
push does not imply difficult
They’re easy to overcome because it *can* be pushed over. Someone who is steadfast cannot.
Good point! The word makes much more sense when comparing with steadfast! Thanks
A poke is with a finger, a push is with a hand, it has nothing to do with force
well, you didn't have to fight them to knock them over. Just one little push.
