What freedom and rights have been affected, exactly? Is this just "immigrants and LGBT people exist" nonsense, where it's claimed that not doing negative things to such groups is somehow an attack on white straight men?

It is 100% about COVID and guns. It always is.

Covid is effectively over for these people though and the US never even went proper lockdown at all, unlike most of the rest of the world. How do they politicize Covid at this point?

Yeah, can't argue about guns. Despite conservatives being the ones with the greater amount of gun restriction legislation and such, especially under Trump, they will still claim the opposite every time.
