Is now just not a good time to apply for tech roles?

I am a mid-to-senior-level web application developer. I am struggling to land a new role, despite a total of 3.8 years of professional/employed experience in the industry and working on apps for multi-billion dollar companies. Zoetis, Diamler, and McCain Foods are amongst some of the large clients I worked on projects for.

I was recently a top candidate for a role with a base salary of $180k+. I was going to work on a e-commerce site to sell guns and weapons. Sadly, they decided to pursue an internal candidate.

Everything appears bleak, and I am so disturbed the way the job market is right now that I hibernated my linkedin so I don't have to wallow in despair. Instead, I am focused on prepping and activism until the election season is over.
