I’ve studied the context of that convention and speech a lot. The authors were indeed planting a flag for a more right-wing GOP (which blossomed with Reagan) but they clearly viewed this goal as a means of delivering more “liberty” and “justice.” So, it was a rhetorical device.

Jackie Robinson was at that convention and he didn't think what was on offer was more liberty and justice, at least not for black people. You should pay attention to Robinson's words and experiences.
