Dropdown button not clickable - html

Question

I've been fighting with this for a while now and have gone through the posts I could find here. I think my bootstrap.css is overriding the css I've added to my style.css. My dropdown button isn't clickable. I have tried everything I've seen in here: placing my custom css prioritized over bootstrap, I've tried editing the button and dropdown settings in bootstrap.css, etc. There's too much in my bootstrap to post here, but here's the code I'm trying to get working. I'm not sure if it's dropdown, button, navbar, etc that's causing the conflict.
HTML:
<div class="navbar">
Home
News
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="dropbtn">Dropdown
<i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i>
</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.navbar {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;
}
.navbar a {
float: left;
font-size: 16px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.dropdown {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
.dropdown .dropbtn {
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 16px;
background-color: inherit;
font-family: inherit;
margin: 0;
}
.navbar a:hover, .dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: red;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
float: none;
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
EDIT:
Here's my bootstrap.css
