The words themselves imply that the only rational thing to do is to vote selfishly, which is trivial to reject.

I mean, sure but that's because there's additional context.

The point is implying people vote for a policy to accomplish A, but instead are voting for !A.

If that's the implication, then I think the implication is wrong. It's not like they don't know they are voting to cut entitlements and lower taxes on the wealthy.
