Which is why I said since Nixon.
- refurb 6y agoSince is usually inclusive of the subject mentioned. “Since Reagan, the conservative movement saw a resurgence.” That sentence would make no sense if “since” meant “immediately after”.
- meepmorp 6y agosince - adv. after some point in the past; at a subsequent time In that sense if the word, the sentence: "Trump's environmental regulatory bonfire is something Republican presidents have sought to do since Nixon" would indicate Republican presidents in the time period subsequent to Nixon. Which I think makes sense, ymmv.
