Bruh, go read the book. It's great. It's dry. But A.) if a ****er like me with a short attention span can still love everything about it then it must be great, and B.) figuring out just what the **** Heinlein is advocating for is like a full contact sport, especially if you've read Stranger and have to figure out how the same guy could write both books. I think you most of all on this site would love the mental exercise. It will challenge your ideas about fascism and democracy without every holding your hand about what it's promoting. It's the kind of book that's more about the mental fun than the reading fun.
