I worked for one of the woke big box bookstores, and I don't agree with your theory that they're trying to turn people off reading by shoving woke crap in their faces; these authors and publishers are True Believers and they're trying to indoctrinate through "literature". It's ugly to see, but I'm happy to see it backfiring.
I've been thinking about making a post about bookstores and the publishing industry; they tend to fly under the radar since they're not as visible as what's on screen, if that makes sense. The major publishers are woke, but there's some interesting movement happening regarding independent publishing.
ETA: Your info about how the woke books aren't selling is on point, so thank you for that. I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing these things. 🙂
