If we view the Cultural Revolution in China as being an ideologically driven uprising by the youth against what they perceived to be a bourgeois elite, encouraged by a figure they perceived to be infallible, is there the potential for something like the Cultural Revolution to occur in the modern United States?

Well the cultural revolution also consisted of publicity shaming and murdering "intellectuals" because bourgeois Western science is contrary to Maoism. So our equivalent might be lynching climate scientists for being part of a liberal conspiracy to destroy freedoms.

Mao told the kids "you're the cops now, go nuts."
There's no one in the states with the authority to declare such at this time.
