No, for a while after the shakeup of the US political landscape resulting from Johnson embracing the Civil Rights Act and the Republican Party exploiting disaffection of racists from the Democratic Party in a way that they had not tried to do after the similar Democratic split over integration vs segregation in the 1940s that produced the short-lived State's Rights Democratic Party, the Republican Party placed heavy rhetorical emphasis of libertarianism because it was a framework within which the “State's Rights” code for racial discrimination and laissez-faire capitalism of economic conservatives could be appealed to under the same verbiage. This was not an attempt at a compromise with the Left; insofar as it was a compromise rather than just a joint propaganda effort, it was a compromise within the Right.
