If the phrase "objectively true "is nonsensical, it's nonsensical..but insisting on it being selectively nonsensical...and replacing it with what would be a functionally equivalent set of terms is..itself, nonsensical.
As I and others have noted, realism is not a position that states that some moral proposition is more real, more objective, or more true than any other - only that it is just as real, just as objective, and just as true as any other. They all stand or fall together, in that respect - including every comment left in this thread and purported to be a fact of any matter...including, in point of fact (if there are facts, lol) the notion that the phrase "objectively true" is nonsensical.
We've done nothing more or less, in any of this..than to burn all facts to the ground in order to deny the contents of our moral intuitions, provided by our conscience.
