 Normative realism sees a strict analogy between normative truths, such as the putative truth that it would be bad to have another Dr. Pepper, and non-normative truths, such as the fact that Dr. Pepper is sweet. In each case, there is a declarative sentence that expresses a proposition that can be the intensional object of a belief, and, further, the belief, proposition, and sentence are true just when the state of affairs they represent obtains. So, if our beliefs are correct, there is the state of affairs or the fact that Dr. Pepper is sweet, and there is the state of affairs or the fact that it would be bad to have another Dr. Pepper. We believe both that Dr. Pepper is sweet and that it would be bad to have another one. And we express these beliefs by asserting that Dr. Pepper is sweet or that it would be bad to have another one, respectively.
