Or do bookstores only stock right wing books? The most "left" book I can find at this Books A Million is the latest from Bernie Sanders 🙃

IMO you are seeing the confluence of two things

First https://electricliterature.com/are-conservative-titles-using-shady-tricks-to-get-onto-the-bestseller-list/

and second book retailers basically just filling their shelves with whatevers on the NYT bestseller list or determining what books to stock by similar metrics rather than some actually curated selection.
