No, the above isn't how the tags work:
SCOpenGraph tags will set the meta data for the page. Above, where you're using {SCOpenGraph description=...} that will set the *meta* description for Twitter and Facebook when the post is shared.. that's the description in the article preview. If you want separate text for the Twitter meta description, use {SCOpenGraph twitter:description=...}

The SCTwitterShare is for a specific Twitter share button. The text field in there will pre-populate a message for a user to Tweet. Once tweeted, the prepopulated (nad possibly edited) Tweet will go out with an article preview that will use the title, description and image *meta* fields set above. You could go steps further and even have multiple Twitter Share buttons with different text.. almost like a vote or something "Use this Tweet link to show you're support" with a pre-defined text=.. message to support something on the page and another to show negativity toward the content. Just an example, but it illustrates why the text for the Twitter Share button can be set *per button* whereas the meta description is set per-page.

It seems like you're confusing the meta tags (SCOpenGraph tags) and the sharing buttons. They can be used together, but they are separate entities in Facebook and Twitters minds.

I hope that helps clarify things a bit further,
Alex

So the {SCTwitterShare text=At the end of the 4th Quarter, 2017, 2717 people, worldwide, signed the 911TAP petition…} attribute isn't used and I should set a separate {SCOpenGraph twitter:description=At the end of the 4th Quarter, 2017, 2717 people, worldwide, signed the 911TAP petition…} tag? correct.

What about creating a module that I can set to display on every page that will pick up the Easy Tag data for the page from which it is called.

First before telling you my woes, I really appreciate the detailed explanations you provide. Those explanation actually help a lot, because sometimes I am just not seeing the obvious.

As you can see from below, I added the {SCOpenGraph twitter:description=This focuses on Mueller’s role in obscuring the evidence trail to the events of 9/11…} tag but I still get both og:description and twitter description populated with the og:description value as you can see below.
