I'm creating a navbar in boostrap and the dropdown, burger, etc. aren't working. By this I mean they are not expanding when clicked on. I have worked with Bootstrap before and haven't encountered this issue in the past. I'm using Bootswatch from a CDN and just to be safe, I also added the Bootstrap CDN after testing with and without it, I still didn't notice a difference.
I'm using ejs templating(none of which is shown here) in case that's useful to solving the issue. I just wanted my code to be in a form that anyone could test without having to use ejs.

I recommend you to locate you script tags right before the
<body>tag ends. You can check this link to understand why is better.Also, you are loading jQuery after Bootstrap links. I modified it.
