    This paper studies a continuous model of opinion dynamics with convictions. It focuses on the Nash equilibrium as well as the regularity and long time behavior of the system based on transport equation. The proposed model uses the basic all-to-all communication rule but it incorporates the nonlinear conviction force. It describes the effect of strengthening the pull towards conviction as it becomes more extreme. The model is not Galilean invariant and is fully non-linear. Based on the analysis of well-posedness and mean-field limit, it is shown that each of the family of probability slicing measures can approach a monotonic opinion state, namely a Dirac measure at a fixed point.
