It does matter what Leave did, they played up to inherent fear and prejudices and told people what they wanted to hear. A constructive, positive message by Remain would only appeal to the people who were already set on remaining, it wasn't about constructive argument or anything else, it was about who could shout the loudest and shout what people wanted to hear.
Remain should have taken a different approach but rationality isn't what people wanted to hear, they couldn't be arsed with economics or anything else, they wanted everything to be simplified and translated as 'all these problems were because of Europe and Johnny Foreigner coming over here etc.'

and in a nutshell you show why remain lost
"rationality isn't what people wanted to hear, they couldn't be arsed with economics or anything else, they wanted everything to be simplified and translated as 'all these problems were because of Europe and Johnny Foreigner coming over here etc.'"
Nice broad brush stroke there, how many voters did you interview before you formed this denigrating opinion?
The majority of voters really, really craved information and advice on which way to vote. Instead they were fed horseshit from both sides and had to guess what to do.
It's a complete failure of politics to inform and advise. It's symptomatic of the disconnect between politicans and who they represent. Blaming the voters by categorising them as simpletons and bigots is why they stuck two fingers up at the elites, both in the UK and Brussels.

I didn't interview any voters, i didn't have to.
I spend most of my time in the north and to say there isn't a huge blame game with 'foreigners' being responsible for people being unemployed etc. Is to not see the wood for the trees, especially in outer parts of Greater Manchester.
To pretend that people don't have the attitude that it's other's to blame for their own situations is being a bit naive, they were fed horse shit as that's what it was deemed they wanted to be fed, and it worked.
Leave got it right.
