How to get this navigation responsive? And how does the pseudo code look like to change color on .navigation:link???

Is there a way to shorten and simplify this to become a nice and elegant drop down menu? And I don't understand why this menu aint responsive anymore.... I understand that it aint because of my relative units. So I suspect it has something to do with display - flex and flew-flow... Is this correct?

I would really appreciate if anybody here could share their experience and knowledge that you may have about dropdown navigations.

Best regards!
