Not my first but I am quite adept at it, just not expressions save for American movies and whatnot. I didn't really encounter the expression till I got interested in gamergate and the antiwoke media crowd.

So to clarify it's to just repeat something until one accepts it as true? Like that in church or something? Although I suspect it has something to do with being obnoxious while doing it.

Yes, it has the connotation of being obnoxious and aggressive while promoting a belief or belief system.
