Today I saw this picture and was horrified
The foundations of psychological safety is a feeling of belonging. If you don't feel welcome in a group they you'll find it impossible to bring your best self to the table. You won't want to speak up and offer suggestions, out of fear of how the group will react. you won't feel comfortable asking questions and learning. Instead you'll want to stay in your corner and get through the hard times as fast as you can.
A team is only as safe as its least safe member. So look around. Maybe your team was high performing and phychologically safe before the election, or maybe it was struggling. But there's a good chance that your team has slid backwards because one or more members no longer feel safe at home or in public. And that will affect how they work. We can't divorce our personal lives from your work lives. And people claiming you're property, or that you are sinning is going to affect how people work.
Maybe ease up one some of your deadlines, and take some time to reassure to people in your team that they are welcome. Because until you do that your team can grow more psychologically safe.
