Try grabbing the element reference through Selenium and then passing that as an argument the JavaScript executor to click()

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='get']")
driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].click()", element);

I've never tried this, but if this is a link, button, or other form input, I think you could also focus the element and try to pass a space to it to emulate a keyboard interaction. It should act the same as "tabbing to the link and pressing space"

# grab element
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='get']")
# focus
driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].focus()", element);
# send "space"
element.sendKeys(" ");
