As not a customer of the restaurant where waiters can be only Democrats
or Republicans serving up the same old central kitchen crap, I had not
read of this but found the Wikipedia article very scary. It will be a
worry if they are as powerful as you imply.

 Unless they do something /really/ stupid, like dump Kamala for Hilary,
the Dems should win as they will /not be running a Boomer/ for
President. Registrations of younger voters are up. And I expect that
they will vote anti-Boomer in large numbers.
 I haven't bothered with the details because they will find a few
roadblocks:
-- Trump's own ego, since he didn't write it
-- Civil Service rules (founded on Civil Service /laws/ passed by
Congress) once they try to replace below a certain level
 

Trump has already tried to negate those rules, almost succeeded despite basically do it on a whim and doing so in a planned, thought out way is one of the first steps in the Project 2025 playbook.  Also keep in mind that the current Supreme Court can be counted on to shoot down any legal challenges.
