Often, such a condition being true indicates data corruption or a faulty algorithm; it is almost always handled by emitting a fatal error message and terminating or crashing, since there is little else that can be done.
Some case variant of "can't happen" is also often the text emitted if the "impossible" error actually happens.
Although "can't happen" events are genuinely infrequent in production code, programmers wise enough to check for them habitually are often surprised at how frequently they are triggered during development and how many headaches checking for them turns out to head off.

Trouble is, Bisbonian, those who don't already see "It Can't Happen Here" happening all around them wouldn't see it or accept it or connect it or recognize it if they did read the book - they wouldn't start it in the first place, let alone finish it.
Look at all the quotes that have been placed here from that book and others that so clearly describe the very situation we have right now in our government and these people flat out refuse to acknowledge any parallels at all.

 It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis: Scarily Prophetic Warning? - Associated Content
At this time (in a very pre-World War II setting) the United States is facing a slew of its worst existential crises to date, and the American people, once sunny, confident, and striving, are now scared, angry, and disillusioned.
The blame falls on the "it can't happen here" crowd, those who have yet to realize that being American doesn't change your human nature.
Sinclair Lewis's only strongly politically novel, It Can't Happen Here also took some serioius pot shots at Upton Sinclair and other liberals who Lewis thought could be as much of a problem as the Fascists were in allowing democracy to fail.

 It Can't Happen Here (Sample Reality)
It Can’t Happen Here is a much-overlooked novel by Sinclair Lewis in which a totalitarian regime slowly but irrevocably takes over the United States in the 1930s.
Lewis satirically documents the rise of a fascist leader whose coming to power is met with apathetic shrugs by a easily-wooed populace who believes that a dictatorship “can’t happen here”—not in so-called democratic America.
I too had thought that Lewis was fairly off-base, that “it couldn’t happen here,” until recently.

The phenomenon itself no longer surprises us, only the new variations on the theme.

I tend to sympathize with the view that if people found it hard and#8212; or, better, impossible and#8212; to get their hands on automatic pistols and assault rifles, mass murder incidents would be much more rare.

Oh, sure, the next time someone goes on a shooting rampage — in a mall, a church, a school — you can count on some shocked bystander to say, “I never thought…” But those are just the trite phrasings that come out when people don’t know what else to say.
Police and corporate security officials may well have learned something new about how to prevent a “next time.” But we won’t, as a society, be any closer to protecting the innocent from this kind of random rampage in the future.
